Our last day in Porto was damp, cold and rainy. Our main objective was to see the bookstore.

Leaving for Tavira

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.Läs mer
Wow, we love Tavira!

Tavira is a charming former fishing village. It also has a castle, so I guess that makes it important as well.

Seven Hanging Valley’s Hike

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.

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.

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

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 meLäs mer
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 shoppingLäs mer
