Sites around Porto

Our last day in Porto was damp, cold and rainy. Our main objective was to see the bookstore.
We took a few pictures and then went out for a nice dinner at a traditional Portuguese restaurant .
Leaving for Tavira
2 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia
This is an early start. Our train is scheduled to leave at 05:32. We Uber to the train station and don’t see it listed on the departures. There is nobody around to ask about the status of our train. Czytaj więcej
Wow, we love Tavira!
2 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia
Tavira is a charming former fishing village. It also has a castle, so I guess that makes it important as well.

After a 50 minute drive to the trailhead at Praia de Vole Centianes, six hikers are guided by Nuna. He lives in the region and conveys his knowledge of the area in two languages, French and English. Czytaj więcej
We are still hiking….

Bengal beach. The hike is scenic but slower than Dianne and I like to go. We stop a lot and Nuna talks about the sights. He has to say things in two languages so it can be long winded.
Still hiking…Alfanzina Lighthouse

We have covered around half the distance for the day. It is around 25 degrees. A faster pace would be great.
Getting close to the end

Bengali beach. Nice views. A bathroom would be a welcome sight.
Praia da Marinha

Finally at the end. The hike was about 9 kilometre and it took over 5 1/2 hours. Great views and scenery but we stood around a lot.
On to Lagos

Lagos is very different from Tavira. More big city but very much a beach town. Lots of beach activities; swimming, boating, paddle boarding, kayaking to name a few. Locals are very friendly and Czytaj więcej

Pretty coastline as you can see. This was a nice trip with little fanfare. No long winded safety briefing, no sales pitch for anything. Just the facts.
Last pics of caves
5 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
I said there were a few pictures! It was pretty cool as the ocean was a little rough and our captain no difficulty maneuvering us into and out of the caves, sometimes it made for quite a ride, for me Czytaj więcej
Afternoon of browsing

What a gorgeous day to browse. Lagos has many local musicians striking up a tune outside the shops, restaurants are busy, many tourists and locals enjoying the day outside.
We are not really shopping Czytaj więcej

Our last day, we had a drink by the pool, joined by Toms friend. Dianne calls the seagull in the picture my friend but really it's only an acquaintance. I gave it one crumb of corn and the next thing Czytaj więcej
