... since we left the UK). We learn that there is a campsite in the town centre. Initially we viewed this with some trepidation and indeed it was less than rural surrounded by apartment blocks, however, cheap (euro 10 a night) clean and run by a very friendly Dutch lady; ideal for a couple of nights of cosmopolitan living (Lym gets to put his jeans on for the first time since leaving the uk). <br><br>so Saturday night on the town... for starters we had a ...

... hostel in town, and B) located next door to the other hostel. The choice was obvious, and I quickly ditched the kiwis to join Kirsten next door.<br><br>By another random coincidence, I ran into an older American traveler who was staying at the hostel in Faro with us, and who I had talked to earlier that morning. Over breakfast I had made an effort to score a free ride with him to Lagos, but had been unsuccessful. He was just ...

In Albufeira, we went to a Portugese bullfight, not the real deal as in they don't kill the bull, rather they stab them in the back with a bunch of arrows. I thought it was mean, especially the first bull because it was pretty much still a baby and looked scared instead of angry. Jon ...

... 9 deadly sins. The deal is that you have to try to take nine shots and beat the record, currently the record is 5 seconds for girls and 7 seconds for guys. If you do not only do you not have to pay the 30 euros, but you get a free t-shirt. So, I didn't try, but it sounds nuts right!?! Nine shots and in 5 seconds? I wish I could have been witness to that.<br><br>From there, I took a bus to get to Lisbon, I left Lagos at ...

The kiting in Alvor is supposedly one of the best spots in Portugal, because of a huge shallow lagoon, however the wind was in the opposite direction so we ended up kiting on the sea side in the waves. Exhausting, but very fun to launch off the waves. We met a wicked ...

... not "surfers" but we we&#8217;re much less scared of getting tossed by the big waves this time. We also came to the conclusion that it maybe wasn&#8217;t us that, but that it&#8217;s the size of the board that was hindering our performance....<br> <br>http://picasaweb.google.com/Jonny.D .Lawrence/20091011Sagres?authkey=Gv1sRg CMmMtI7egbGKvAE&amp;feat=directlink

... for a hands on experience. We have a great relationship - he helps me and I show him the world. It works. Anyway... I feel like its time to give out a few random facts. I haven't done any in a while. Although the sun is hot - its freezing here! The wind drops the temperature down at least 5 - 10 degrees. Its not too bad in the little coves of the beaches, but in the town and when your inside the hostel or on the rooftop I get goosebumps. A concept I have not seen in quite a while ...

... says it will make me pack lighter next time. Most of the weight is books and Power Bars neither of which will last long. Lee stopped by for his morning pastry and then we headed to the train station for the scenic ride along the coast to Tavira.

... house doors unlocked, and young children can run around the streets of their neighbourhood without the parents having to worry about them. You just never know how things are going to work differently when you travel to places. Jack left one morning from the apartment without me while I was still sleeping. We only had one key. He didn't want to leave the door unlocked while I was asleep, so he did what most people would do, locked it behind him. I got up a bit later and got ...

... women who are away from home and looking to get a little south of the border crazy. When I mention that they are good looking I'm not just saying that. One of the brothers, with movie star good looks, is known as "Ice Cream Face". I asked one of his buddies, "Why Ice Cream Face"? He replied, "Because, Everyone loves ice cream". More to the point, I bet Ice Cream Face loves everybody... While getting things squared away at the Rising Cock, Neill ...
