Playa Canela Isla Canela

Op de rechteroever slaat de torenklok een keer vaker dan op de linkeroever: in Spanje is het een uur later. <br>Drie stukjes film: weer dolfijnen, de eerste die we in de Algarve tegen kwamen, blijft voor ons erg leuk, ik hoop voor jullie ook. Dit keer een wat grotere varieteit. Het tweede stukje film is uit de zoutwinning bij het plaatsje Tavira waar kluten, reigers en lepelaars fourageren. Het derde stukje film zijn wat beelden in en rond de Guadiana, de grensrivier.

... to arrive in hot places at midday carrying rucksacks and looking lost, we arrived in Tavira at around 1230 the mercury hitting 35 degrees, laden down and looking lost. Our hotel, booked online, for its proximity to the town centre could be seen high on a hill overlooking the town, perched in such a way as to be visible but seemingly disconnected from the narrow twisty streets. After a few wrong turns and a scare from a little but vicious dog, we ...

... Atlantic. Lots of smallish waves roll in - not in sets like in Perth but just one wave after another. They weren't good enough to body surf but that didn't stop us from trying.<br><br>Friday sees us travelling by train to Faro then changing to the express to Lisbon to our apartment. And then a whole new adventure will start. <br><br>We trust all are well back in Perth.<br><br>

... s centre streets are cobbled, narrow and one-way. We´ve spent Sunday afternoon &amp; evening and Monday just walking around the town, exploring and soaking up the atmosphere. Lots of coffees, pastries and beer. Food and drink is really cheap (expresso $1.10, beers are about $2.20 for a stubby). <br><br>We´ve been practising our very limited Portugese - I think we can say about 3 expressions so far! Locals seem to find our efforts amusing! :-)<br><br>Adeus

... now that the journey is complete? It means I have learnt a lot about touring on a bicycle (I am now far more confident riding in heavy urban traffic); I've had a good look at parts of France and Spain that I had not previously seen; I've discovered that literally thousands of people from across the globe trek across the European network of pilgrimage routes that lead inexorably to Santiago de Campostella; and my fitness level has increased ...

... I was met by a guy who offered to open the garage doors for me. Later a second guy speaking near perfect English made my day when he asked: "Are you Peter Tanner?" He explained that he was the night receptionist and had spotted my booking. After checking that everything was okay with my room and bike storage he then advised me on sights to visit and, most importantly, a place to eat. What a nice bloke! I walked round ...

... hours to kill for the bus, walked around the market, watched a scrimmage soccer game, walking past a bar i came across a birthday party where i was literally pulled in... friendly people, free food, a warm place to wait for the bus... DEPARTED to Lisbon

ARRIVED from Sevilla i was trying to get to lisbon, portugal but the train line stopped in Huelva. the bus from there to portugal didnt leave for 8 hours (it was a holiday, so everything was closed, i couldnt even find anything to eat except at the bus station and no cars and no map so i wasnt about to hitchhike) not much to do all day other than my usual- skateboard, nap, read, walk around... DEPARTED to somewhere in Portugal

<br>Tavira on 30 km Farost idapool ja 160 km läänepool asub juba Sevilla. Ka siin on selgelt näha moorakate jälgesid nii arhitektuuris kui kultuuris. Ehitati kaks mo&#353;eed, kindlus ja palee. Tavira ja Lagos on arhitektuuri poolest kõige ilmekam linnad Algarve piirkonnas.<br><br>Minu jaoks tundus Lagose lugu põnevam ja ajalooliselt tähtsam, seega teen kokkuvõte:<br><br>Lagos asub Rio Bensafrimi kallastel ning ...

... en zuidwaards en dan weer noordwaards elk een kwartier. Dit doen we 3 maal en komen zo langzamerhand voor de opening die weinig breed is maar al bekend terein is voor ons. Wat heet bekend terrein, nu staat er een aardige branding maar er scharrelen ook vissertjes rond, als zij dat kunnen, dan moeten we dat toch ook kunnen? Ondanks dat het tij tegenstaat, stuiteren we met de motor vol aan en het grootzeil in een knik bij de laatse slag, de havenmond in ...
