Vale Del Rei Suite & Village Resort Lagos

14 Nov<br>we awoke early and decided to go for a stroll along the river bank to the point where it met the ocean (NOTE AT TIME OF WRITING, we have an entry for Odeceixe to insert). En route we had a quick wash using water that was effectively run off from the hillside. Proceeding on at the beach, we were greeted by two sea otters, happily frolicking in the surf; a wonderful pre breakfast feast for the eyes. As the tide was running very low, surfing ...

... 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 ...

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 ...

... there, he was hilarious and exactly like a euro version of an American beach bum. <br>We also went to check out the lagoon, I got out for a couple tacks, the wind was super light and I crashed my kite and it deflated... fun. I had to walk my kite back through shallow water ...

... 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

... beaches, enjoying 30 degree weather with a breeze so like PERFECT, sleeping in til noon, and power hour every day. Man i love power hour. Also, the 2nd day Sean went shark fishing which was 70 euro (times everything by 1.5 and youll know what it is in dollars)....and for the 2nd time all season, noone on the boat caught a single shark in the entire 6 horus, so he was pretty bummed...so the next day, all hung over, we set out at 9 AM to gonormal fishing and discovered that ...

... next to the other two tables of patrons. Lucky we had ordered a tiny meal because the food was pretty lousy. We got home to watch a bit more of the BBC. I have decided that the BBC is like an old friend. There is something warm and comfortable about it, the shows are friendly, the dramas are superb and on the satellite there is a new channel called BBC Three which has reruns of shows that have been on before which allowed us to catch an ...

... jesters, dancers, snake charmers, and medievil bands... so this is where we met the clowns..... three of the mischeif makers there were, carlos, ruey and pedro.... after seeing them on the steets during the day they turned up in the same bar as us that night... what follows is a bit of a blur.... at some stage of the night we ended up at the performers bar, hanging out with all the performes, the place was packed and we were all out on ...

... attend you. All the post offices we visited were extremely busy with waits of up to ten minutes. It's not so bad because as you have a number, you can wander around until your turn comes up. On the other hand, if you miss it, you have to start all over again. We visit the impressive ultra-modern market and enjoy a coffee by the harbour. On the other side of the harbour lines of condos fade into the ...

... though about 6 of the 11 in the group would have gone back out) and I don't think that's right. I was so angry. I paid E30 for a bloody t-shirt and 90 min high speed horse ride! I went back to my beach to seeth in private and it was hard to stay angry when the scenery was so beautiful. I made my way back to the room early as I wanted to have a shower and to pack before going out in the evening. I ditched some clothes... had to make room for my t-shirt... I actually now ...
