Natura Sun Club Apartments Albufeira

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 ...

... but the bartender put a shot of vodka in it.

So, one thing i did notice is that the guys and girls that worked there were SOOO drunk. So i started to notice a pattern of them getting hammered every night, much like Ios, it had a similar feel.

Well, the days in Lagos pretty much consisted of me sitting on the beaches, Praia de Batata and just having a sandwich here, and sun, there. I did the second day with Neel before he had to leave and ...

... to the pastry shop, where we indulged in the best pastries in the world. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it.

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.

The first night we once again tested our ...

... then we cooked up a BBQ on the roof terrace for dinner - very nice!

Megg had recovered by the morning, and it was time for a day trip to Sagres! We caught the slow slow bus to pretty Sagres, had lunch, and hired bikes to ride along Cape St Vincent, the western most point of Europe apparently. It was a really nice ride with beautiful views - would have been great to watch the sun set, but the last bus back to Lagos ment we missed it :( We all headed out for dinner to taste the ...

I recently returned from a beautiful vacation with my girlfriend in Lagos. As a symbol of our commitment, we purchased a pair of brown coconut rings in the main square. There were hundreds of them and they were 1-2 euros.

I broke mine the other day and she is disappointed because of what it represented to her. I'm ...

... about the Qantas, Jetstar or Virgin Blue self check in system. Unlike BA, if you were booked to fly together then generally when you go to check yourself in all call up your booking, the person that your are travelling with also appears. But at BA, the idea seems to be if you don't go and start checking in 24 hours before your departure, then they will allocate you seats at random, so not taking into account that you are travelling with your significant other and may ...

After rocking up to my Hostel in Lagos at 11:30 at night i was pretty keen to get out see the town so dumped my bags and set off to find the find the first pub with cold beers. The night started pretty calm with a bit of a stroll around Lagos town stopping off for the occasional pint at different pubs. Finally i met this American dude and started drinking with him and before i knew it, it was 8am in the morning ...

... by military might - or three men with automatic weapons. Perpignan is an old city, with the due ration of castles and palaces. It is becoming decidedly Catalan, not so much so as Barcelona but the Catalan flag is everywhere. Street names are still in French first then Catalan (in Barca the street names are only in Catalan which is not much help if your street map has the names in Spanish) as of course the French are very particular about the official use of their language ...
