Dom Pedro Meia Praia Lagos

De ooievaars verzamelden zich, een paar honderd meter van onze boot, voor vertrek naar Afrika. Het waren er honderden. Nog wat ver weg voor de video, maar een prachtig gezicht door de verrekijker.
Weer een stukje film met dolfijnen rond de boot, op weg van Sines naar Lagos ...

I made it to Lagos yesterday. Its basically a beach/party town. The second place that I walked into turned out to be a really great room for 25 euros a night complete with my first english language tv of the trip. Today I spent part of the day in Sagres, the southwestern most point in europe. Good for pictures and walking really really far. Tomorrow I´m going to attempt to get to Seville.

This weekend I went on a trip to Lagos, Portugal with an organization called DiscoverSevilla. I had an absolutely amazing time!!!!!!!!!!! This is my first trip outside of Spain and it couldn't have gone better.

We arrived at the hotel dropped off our belongings and had a few hours to explore before dinner. The hotel was right on the beach and had an absolutely amazing view, I have never seen ...

So, i go to Lagos and meet Natalie on the train, she was from seattle. Her and this other canadian from Ottawa were on the train, though, on the way there, i chose the same place to check out as Natalie, so we walked to our respective hostels. Upon getting there, we met two Belguim girls, Delphine and Lorena. Both were from the French speaking part and along with Neel, a guy from ...

Ola!

So now we find ourselves in Spain, our fourth country on the list. Let's backtrack to our adventures in Lisboa and Lagos.

After being pleasantly surprised with our amazing hostel, Lisbon Lounge, we headed out for our first meal in Portugal. All of us were like what the hell, it is freezing. Little did we know that it is now fall - we're still in beach mode. However it was still smoking during the day, highs around 28 degrees. Some of us had a ...

Life was pretty sweet in Lagos - we stayed for a week, and could have stayed for 10 more.. Beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, lovely town, the best weather, and it was nice and cheap! We could go out for a decent dinner for 10-15 euros and there was Cafe Odeon that did 3 euro breakfasts run by a Dutchman.. YUUUUMMMY!

We spent most days beach hopping, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful water and scenery, playing 'beach ball' italian style! (even though they were JAM PACKED ...

... towns on the coast of Italy and it is absolutely gorgeous! Our travel agent told us we would meet a little old lady who would rent a room in her house to us but that was not the case. Instead, we met a little old man who barely spoke any English but rented this amazing apartment 2 mins from the beach. He started at 90 euros which is wayyy out of our budget but we got him down to 50 thanks to Jason´s really good bargaining skills. So for one night we had a private, one ...

... the rental lady. She was in as much shock to find out he was there as we were. The owner ended up going to a friends house for the night and we were left to sort out things the next morning. The owner decided we could stay there for the next week that we had planned and he would stay at his friends, but this wasn't then end of the problems. The next day we came back to the apartment to make dinner. I turned on the tap to get some hot water. There was no hot water again. We ...

... in a big bus in the algarve, then you donºt really know what bus sickness is. itºs mandatory to be nauseated the entire trip, so you gotta make sure you pop your dramamine. so, we opted out of gibralatar. Thursday night we are flying north to porto, which is port wine country, to grab some port and go white water rafting. fun times ahead. to be continued...
