Portugul

As we are finding Western Europe quite expensive (this is not a surprise) we are moving rather quickly through the countries. Tomorrow we will take a bus from here, on the Mediterranean coast of Portugal, to Sevilla, in Spain. But to backtrack. We arrived in Lisbon on the morning of March 18, after couch surfing and St. Patrick's Day craziness in Ireland. We were able to check in to our hostel (Black and White) but not stay and sleep as we would have liked, so we set off to explore the city. ...

Last days in Portugal

... of the trip, played some frisbee and then decide weºd go for an early evening stroll around Lagos old town; Annabelle splashes out on a new pair of fishbone earrings (made of silver!), we pop into the local Ecomarche, pick up 4 frosty ones and decide to sit opposite the marina on the esplanade and chill for a while. Then itºs back to base where we have a chat with some very friendly Belgian silver surfers, who inform us they have been camping ...

Anyhow having stocked up we headed to Praia Mos, a little too late to ...

a shift in energy

... hostel in town, and B) located next door to the other hostel. The choice was obvious, and I quickly ditched the kiwis to join Kirsten next door.

By another random coincidence, I ran into an older American traveler who was staying at the hostel in Faro with us, and who I had talked to earlier that morning. Over breakfast I had made an effort to score a free ride with him to Lagos, but had been unsuccessful. He was just ...

Where to?

... arrives, probably in an hour or two.

Now I'm feeling a little remote. I'm pretty good at making the best of a situation, and dealing with the resources I have. As I haven't eaten yet today, I search a few of the nearby gardens for a bit of fruit to tide me over. Under the cover of early morning light I find a mature pomegranate tree loaded with fruit. I grab 5 of the plumpest fruits I can find and wander ...

Bull fighting

In Albufeira, we went to a Portugese bullfight, not the real deal as in they don't kill the bull, rather they stab them in the back with a bunch of arrows. I thought it was mean, especially the first bull because it was pretty much still a baby and looked scared instead of angry. Jon ...

Wave riding

The kiting in Alvor is supposedly one of the best spots in Portugal, because of a huge shallow lagoon, however the wind was in the opposite direction so we ended up kiting on the sea side in the waves. Exhausting, but very fun to launch off the waves. We met a wicked ...

... not "surfers" but we we’re much less scared of getting tossed by the big waves this time. We also came to the conclusion that it maybe wasn’t us that, but that it’s the size of the board that was hindering our performance....

Albufeira

The algarve is a beautiful piece of portuguese coastline which sits on the edge of the atlantic, so i guess that's why the water was so cold! The yellow cliffs that lined the coast remined me a bit of home actually (my yellow rock on hatfields beach), with white sand and green water (rather than the bright aqua blue of the mediterranian). We stayed in albufeiras old town after gettign the bus from seville, stopping along the way in Faro and Tavira and ...

On the road again...

I had a chance to sleep-in a little this morning before going to meet Mom and Tim at their hotel. Chelsea and I had a chance for a little small talk before saying goodbye for 5 days. We got so close, so fast that it was difficult to imagine not sharing everything with each other (although it was exciting to know we could sleep on our own schedules). Mom, Tim, and I went to a little café a friend of theirs had recommended. We enjoyed big cups of coffee, eggs, jamon, and toast ...
