Sol E Praia Lagos

... we een keer of 5 verblijd met een groepje rond de boot. Ze komen van ver naar je toe zwemmen.
Minder blij waren we met de duizenden vliegende mieren. De overlast viel uiteindelijk erg mee.
En nog wat beelden van rond Alvor, een heerlijk oord om voor anker te liggen.

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.

... like it. That night we went to dinner as a group and then headed off to a bar called Joe's Garage. Everyone was dancing, drinking, meeting people just an overall good time. The bartender lit some shots on fire as girls danced on the bar. Good times.

The next day we went on a Sangria boat cruise along the coast of Portugal! It was absolutely breath taking. I've never seen water soo ...

... bongs. But, what was funny was that the countries on there included, get this...Canada..okay....USA...okay...Ire land...Got ya..Poland, wow....now, under Austria ther was Alaska...****en..ALASKA..I pointed it out to the bartender and he goes. Haha, wow, you are the first person to point that out. Well, then, you wanna do a beer bong? and i replied yah, how much....2.50..So, i did a beer bong in a bar for 2.50. And i didnt notice until ater when i tasted ...

... fishbowls' and Megg REALLY liked them.. or REALLY didn't like them, whichever way you want to look at it. The 'having a good time' part of the night didn't last quite as long as I would have liked, but a cousin's gotta do what a cousin's gotta do - we are family!

Anyway, we had a big sleep-in the next day, and we were supposed to go sea kayaking but luckily for Megg the sea was too rough and it got postponed (Phew!). So Megg slept most of the day and I chilled on the beach ...

... leave lagos til 3, getting to Faro at 515....Only to find out that the last bus back to Lagos left Faro at 530....so we hopped back on the exact same damn bus to go the 2.5 hours back to Lagos and never saw a freakin thing in Faro. Soooo ******. Bus oh well! Anyway, all in all, Lagos was an awesome place that Id love to go back to...soo many ppl we met there meant to stay for a few days and have ended up living there for a few months cause they love it so much. Its no wonder ...

I managed to get our bags, one at a time, down the ladder that was our stairway. I was feeling a bit of animosity towards the bags at this point but from there it would be mainly rolling, not too much more lifting. Our trip to the bus station was pretty uneventful. The metro was not too busy, although busier than I had thought for a Sunday morning. We bought our tickets with nearly an hour to spare so went to look for somewhere we could get a bite to eat. We found a ...

... clear, and refreshingly cool. The only thing keeping Lagos' beaches from being perfect is that they are a little rocky.. I was supposed to leave Lagos by 6 1/2 bus on Sunday but good lady fortune dropped a group into my lap driving back to Sevilla Monday night. I jumped for the opportunity to stay in paradise an extra two days and am so glad I did - it only took 2 1/2 hours by car! On the beach our last day 2 dogs approached us and stuck around ...

... about every day we get to the beach for a few hours at the very least. On Tuesday we took a boat trip to see dolphins. We were both a little skeptical at first but it turned out to be an awesome time. The boat we went in was a search a rescue style and it went really fast and hit the waves hard, so the boat trip was half the fun. Once we got out into the open waters we found a group of 5 dolphins that decided to hang around us for the entire ...

... modern technology in a city that refuses to change. Walking the street is like an unnatural dance between pedestrians, other pedestrians, and cars. Sometimes you walk on the sidewalk, other times on the street, and still other times you have to stand still so people or another car that is behind you can slowly creep its way by. As in Lisbon, Lagos has amazing stone patterns along the side walks and squares. There must be billions of imperfect rocks that have been place next to each ...
