my gosh 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 ...

a shift in energy

... t the most inspiring town, and after two days its time to move on.The kiwis have a plan, they've got a hostel lined up, and a group of friends meeting them, so why not?<br> <br>A two hour bus ride to Lagos was longer than expected, as we got off the bus we met up with Kirsten another traveler who was staying at the same hostel. Together we all walked to "The Rising Cock" hostel, the clever name suggesting that I perhaps was not its ...

the time has come

I'm anxious to get to know Daniella and Frank, now that I've gathered a bit of info on them. They came in last night, but I never really met them. <br>This morning I met Daniella in the kitchen, she was already well into breakfast prep. I helped her finish up, then over our own breakfast of stale bread and cheese, discussed chores for the day. The first task is to make bread.<br><br>"I don't really like to make bread" she tells me, as she haphazardly dumps an unknown quantity of water ...

Oh how I hate picky eaters

... pleased, and am reminded of a favourite quote <br> "I have done so much, for so long, with so little, that I am now certified to do anything with nothing." <br> Melissa and Matthias are both suitably impressed, and I'm even tempted to take a photo.<br><br>Melissa and Matthias serve the food while I putter around the kitchen, feeling good. Heck, a plate of food like ...

Quinta do Barranco da Estrada

... Our hosts were away for the weekend, so it was just us running the place. That's right, a guesthouse run completely by volunteers. It strikes me as odd.<br><br>I walked into the kitchen to get an idea of what was available. The plan is that I'll be spending a lot of time in the kitchen during my stay. The kitchen was large, and open, with a commercial feel to it with several gas burners, 2 gas ovens and steel counter tops. It had a sink at ...

Bull fighting

... it was pretty tame until one of the toreadors almost got trampled by one of the bulls, the dude was lucky they dulled the tip of the bulls horns. <br><br><br>http://picasaweb.google.com /Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091016Albufeira?aut hkey=Gv1sRgCImA4oCXitDO5AE&amp;feat=dir ectlink<br>

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 ...

Sagres

... 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

Sagres: heaven on a stick

... a wide sandy beach all surrounded by 60 metre high rock walls and abundant, scrabbly gorse. Lip-smacking scenery. The majority of flora here is unique to the region adding interest to the walk along the cliff top. We had come on a perfect day with only light breezes and plenty of sun shining through broken cloud, so it was hard to see why all ...
