Monte Dourado Lagos

... have proved very difficult, hence we decided to move on. We continued to hug the coastline checking out the waves as we went. Nothing tempted us to jump in (the weather being poor also), however the coastline proved absolutely stunning between Odeceixe and our next destination Lagos. We were continually overwhelmed by the rugged beauty of the coastline coupled with the power of the ocean; we have some wonderful images which we will add to this blog ...

... in to the hostel, and then was planning to drive out to Sagres, the end of Europe. Kirsten and I decided to join him and away we went.<br><br>Alex liked to tell us that he wasn't a typical American. He spoke several languages, and had traveled the world. I found him vaguely annoying, but I was still happy to take a free ride from him. A 30 minute drive took us to Sagres. I don't want to bother trying to explain the beauty of Sagres ...

... it was pretty tame until one of the toreadors almost got trampled by one of the bulls, the dude was lucky they dulled the tip of the bulls horns. <br><br><br>http://picasaweb.google.com /Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091016Albufeira?aut hkey=Gv1sRgCImA4oCXitDO5AE&amp;feat=dir ectlink<br>

... there, he was hilarious and exactly like a euro version of an American beach bum. <br>We also went to check out the lagoon, I got out for a couple tacks, the wind was super light and I crashed my kite and it deflated... fun. I had to walk my kite back through shallow water ...

The west and south coast of Portugal is pretty much a long stretch of beaches surrounded and separated by huge red cliffs and you can get from one beach to another by crawling through caves in the cliffs (I also think that's where the bums sleep at night...) We did some surfing at a small secluded beach that I had been to 4 years ago with my family. We&#8217;re ...

... to the pastry shop, where we indulged in the best pastries in the world. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it. <br><br>We headed back to the hostel and caught a bus to Lagos. It is a mini Australian beach town inside Europe. The next two days we laid on the most beautiful beaches surrounded by high reaching yellow cliffs. To get to some of the beaches you had to walk through caves along the shoreline. <br><br>The first night we once again tested our ...

... tired from the trip so we just relaxed for the rest of the night. The next morning we had a great breakfast and figured out what we were going to do for the day. We decided to walk, rather than take the receptionist's suggestion and take the tram, to the Belem Tower which we found was about four miles away on foot. It was our first clear sky sunny day so we didn't mind. The Belem Tower was sat right along the coast ...

... been there for nearly two weeks, but the lady who rented it to us had not emailed the owner in France to tell him we were there yet. I guess she was under the impression that he would not be coming to Lagos to use the apartment until February, so she was free to rent it out until then. Some miscommunication had obviously gone on. Jack heard the door opening and had to run to it in his underwear. Needless to say the owner and Jack were standing there staring at each other ...

hello all, chattinº it up live, in the old town, albufeira. After a grand fiasco of the minor proportions, we survived a night without air conditioning, and whoa was it toasty. We had another low key day, hanginº at the beach, people watching. We hung with some Danish people last night, and wow were they good. We had cheese danish, chocolate danish, and some ...
