Solferias Hotel-Apartamentos Lagos

... we awoke around 8am) start, it was time to stock up on provisions from the Intermarche, the Portugues version of a large supermarket. We have noticed a wide variation in prices for eg bread which is very well baked,is cheaper than in the uk. the same goes for beer and wine also fruit and veg. not so items which are imported such as alpen (euro 5 a box pg tips euro 2.40 for 80. Anyhow having stocked up we headed to Praia Mos, a little too late to ...

... Imposing cliffs drop into the sea, and it has an "end of the world" feel to it. I forgot my camera, so you should just google some photos.<br><br>I returned to the hostel to check my emails. Good news for a change! I have a host in Seville through couch surfing, and a host in Badajoz willing to take me on for a couple weeks of olive picking. Life is good. I joined Kirsten for a celebratory beer, and a wander through the streets of Lagos.

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 ...

... tons of mussels on the bottom, also not fun. The road to get to this lagoon was really sketchy, there's a video in the link below so you can see for yourself.<br><br>http://picasaweb.googl e.com/Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091012Alvor?au thkey=Gv1sRgCN_Jy47QxsiTwAE&amp;feat=di rectlink

... not "surfers" but we we&#8217;re much less scared of getting tossed by the big waves this time. We also came to the conclusion that it maybe wasn&#8217;t us that, but that it&#8217;s the size of the board that was hindering our performance....<br> <br>http://picasaweb.google.com/Jonny.D .Lawrence/20091011Sagres?authkey=Gv1sRg CMmMtI7egbGKvAE&amp;feat=directlink

SORRY its been a while, we just got into Lisbon tonight from the crazy little beach town of Lagos which led to a lot of dead brain cells and a GREAT time. The first day we got there, we discovered power hour...10 euro or 15 dollars for a fabulous meal and all you can drink beer for an hour. AWESOME. But it was also fairly early and led to us passing out until about midnight. When we woke up, we rememebered something. There were signs up advertising a foam party at this huge club ...

... found a hairdresser that seemed modern enough to do a good job. The girls went shopping and managed to spend the hour I was away within a 50 metre radius of the hairdressers. Georgie had found a jacket that she liked and took me back after the haircut to get my OK to buy it. It was a great buy for just 14 euros. After this it was lunchtime, so we happened to be standing outside an Indian restaurant that we had been eyeing up so we indulged ...

Terço día Segunda 9 The morning is picture perfect. The early sunshine illuminates the beach and the village in rich colours only seen at daybreak and dusk. We are up at the crack of dawn and walk along the beach towards the headland and the newer town built high on a ledge glisteningly white above the startlingly blue sea. Some fishing boats are putting to sea, and some are arriving with the night's ...

... I could book. So I booked and paid and went and found Sophia and Freda on the beach to kill some time. When I got to the check in counter at 1.15 things were abuzz, the previous trip had just got back and they'd seen a large pod of dolphins and the captain had some great photos which he showed us. The boat wasn't large, it only sat 12 people but it was fast. It had a giant rubber outside and the seats were like riding a horse, swing your leg over and hang on because when ...
