Day 28 Sevilla to Lisboa
1 maja, Portugalia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Not too much to say today The bus trip went well all 7 hours of it. We stopped for 30 minutes to have a bite.

Very easy to find my hostel via Metro. There was only 1 transfer. They make it easy for people who lack navigation skills.....me😂

The hostel itself...... More negatives than positives for sure. Basically it was way too many people for the space available. Not to mention how many were coughing and sneezing!!!! Yikes!!!!

My goal was to get up tomorrow am before anyone at 6. Have my shower and coffee and then leave.

Not too much to say today. It was pretty wet this afternoon .

Went across the bridge for a walk in the evening. Saw some row teams training with their coach behind yelling commands.

Day 26 Exploring Sevilla
29 kwietnia, Hiszpania ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
Very warm today
A lot of the attractions are too far to walk so I took the sightseeing hop on and off bus.

It helped for sure.
Saw many sites . Sevilla is a beautiful but very busy city..

The hostel was very comfortable except my only complaint was blaring 80's music throughout the place even outside The only place that was quiet was your room
..
Vanessa who I met during the power outage and lives in Port Alberniiv( she is a Nurse) is going to a Flamingo tour tonight She planned this well in advance $110 euros very pricey. We get along very well She did a hike around Malta. After Sevilla she is going to surfing places in Portugal.

I met a young girl from California and a couple from Bosnia. It is a very international place for sure. Czytaj więcej

Day 25 Faro to Seville
28 kwietnia, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Arrived by bus to Seville. Very busy at the station. Walked towards the Hostel and noticed police were directing traffic? There was a lot of highway congestion coming into the city.

When I arrived at the Hostel, I was told there had been a massive power outage across Europe!!!
People were trying to get money out of ATM's and there were store and restaurant closures everywhere. One of the grocery stores were letting people in a couple at a time and helping them find what they needed by using the flashlight on their phones.

It lasted for over 5 hours. When the power came back on internet was still very sketchy. We had no way of knowing what was going on.....

Later we found out it was only Spain and Portugal that were primarily affected.

I did go walking in the evening and captured a few sites.

Everywhere you look you see beauty in Sevilla Czytaj więcej

Day 24 Out and About Faro
27 kwietnia, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Taking it easy today..
Was going to take a Bolt ( like an Uber) out however the driver kept getting lost. You can see where he is on the map......

As I was waiting, people started to pass by me with fresh produce. I looked around the corner to see a huge farmers market.

I ditched the Bolt and went to the market. Such fun
The people are so kind and generous with their offerings. I always wanted small amounts of items and they kept filling my bags up.....needless to say I will leave what I can't eat in the free bin👍

The sweet potato I got tasted great. It had a purple skin. The veggies were garden fresh all ready for a soup but I made stir-fry . Delicious with fresh strawberries for dessert.

I did have one problem today....cramping of my feet. I think it was due to dehydration from yesterday. I didn't have any electrolytes and this nice guy gave me some fresh market cucumbers that are supposed to help....I had missed 2 days of my Calcium Nd Magnesium so that wasn't good either. Anyway I went to the Farmacia and got some powdered electrolytes and I am good to go

Moved to a 10 bed mixed dorm for tonight. Seville tomorrow.....so excited!!! Czytaj więcej

Day 23 Bengali cave and Algrave Coast
26 kwietnia, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
It was much quieter last night which made for a great sleep💤💤

On the van at 0900. We were a group of 8. The drive was 50 minutes west of Faro. I saw a huge Ikea on our way....interesting😂

Stopped at Bengali Cave area first. Hardly any people or boats on the water.

Really challenging walking . My photos are not great because you would have had to go beyond a barrier to get the super ones

The next area is where I got the picture of me in the hole in the rock. The group went Cliff jumping after that which I didn't do....no surprise there🤣😂🤣

Next beach was PACKED with tourists. So many kayaks and boats..... I think visiting at Daybreak would be better and cooler. Surprisingly it was only 21 C but felt like 35C
There was an area that had an A frame type little house in the trees. It housed stray cats. Food and water was left for them The group seemed pretty chill with people. I am sorry I didn't get a pick of them. Next time right😉

We got back at 5 pm. Very long but great day I was thrilled to see some of the Algrave Coast. There is a trail that one can take all along it.....Hmmmmm
Sounds like a great idea perhaps🤔😉😂🤣♥️♥️ Czytaj więcej

Day 22 Faro and the Dolphins
25 kwietnia, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Pretty loud and crazy last night so did not sleep very much . This place has the feel of Playa del Carmen🥳🥳 I later found out they were celebratng " Freedom Day."

I gott ready for the dolphin boat ride.
Perfect day with hardly any wind🫶
I dressed with long pants and my jacket and I am so glad I did as it was chilly There were so many young girls with hardly anything covering their body....

We were accompanied by a marine biologist who was super excited at the prospect of seeing some whales passing through. This is a prime time to see them as there are a lot of tuna.

You can also see tortugas, loggerhead ones in particular. Interestingly they come from the Gulf of Mexico on their way to the Mediterranean to nest. Unfortunately, we didn't see any.

What we did see were 2 groups of bottle nosed dolphins They are in groups for different reasons. Some are females with their calves....

I loved the ride, scenery and of course the beautiful dolphins who are very social and curious with regards to boats..

We also saw striped dolphins that are the opposite and swim away from boats.

It was a full day on the water from 11:30 to 1500 hrs.

The biologist was disappointed that she didn't see any different marine life.....but "that's Nature" as she said.

I was amazed at how calm the ocean was. We were fairly far out....you can see on the map. So if there were any whales you could spot them for sure!!

Wonderful day. Walked around town in the evening🤗🤔

Please note on the videos you can enlarge the picture size to see more of the dolphins😉 Czytaj więcej

Day 21 Lisbon to Faro
24 kwietnia, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Left Lisbon at 10 am by train. Easy taking the metro to the train station. The train was packed!!

I sat next to a lovely young lady Lauren, from London travelling with her folks who live in Chicago.

Super hot in Faro.

The hostel is great except for a shared Bathroom and Shower?? I plan to shower super early tomorrow that is my plan. Not really liking this part ....

I don't usually book any tours however seeing dolphins really appealed to me so I am going tomorrow!!! I can't wait.

I also booked a Cave tour/ hike for Saturday😉

Faro is very close to Lagos .... I would love to go there but there just isn't enough time. Next time,?? Hmmmmm😉 Czytaj więcej

Day 20 Sintra
23 kwietnia, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Decided to take the train to Sintra an hour train ride from Lisbon.

While I was buying my train ticket, I bumped into Hannah, a girl I met on the Camino at least 2 weeks ago. It was great although I never saw her after that. She had her own agenda I guess.

Very crowded and very touristy at Sintra.

I lucked out by walking up the hill to the Moorish Castle. It was very steep at times but that was good as it decreased the number of others walking.....

I saw many families with children even babies at the top.

It was challenging for me in places for sure but I am so glad I went there.

Coming down was a challenge again I like the up but not the down. The road was a traffic jam of buses, and taxis waiting to move in the hot sun!!!

I loved walking through the forest there and back. I sat on a rock for a long time just taking in the different bird calls and enjoying the gardens🥰

Probably one of my best days ever♥️♥️♥️ Czytaj więcej

Day 19 Lisbon
22 kwietnia, Portugalia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Had a nice breakfast at the Hostel. Took my time and chatted with the friendly receptionist. She gave me a number of great suggestions with regards to what to check out and how to get around.

I decided to start with the Cathedral magnificent. There were many small chapels surrounding the main body of the church Stained glass was very different.

You were able to climb to a viewpoint at the back and that is where I could take a closeup of the Magnificent mandala stained glass.

I then continued walking ( up and Up) to see the Castille de Jorge. I had a delicious custard tart on the way....but there was a huge lineup and I decided not to wait to get in. Too many people.

I then walked up to the Circa de Jardin for a wonderful view of the city(my video)

After that I went down and down to the water and had my lunch there

I took the train to Belhem and captured the pics of the huge monument and Castille. They were sold out for the day at the Castille no worries I was fine with that.

I hopped back on the Metro to go home ( around 1700). I found a supermercado and picked up some salad, coke and chicken for supper Really great day!!!

I think I walked close to 15 km🤗 Czytaj więcej
