Seixal Road Tripping

After last night's ordeal, we did very little this morning and instead chose to sleep in, chill in bed, and explore the area around the cabin. There was a beautiful little stream that runs right next to our room and even a beach further upstream. Eventually, we went to get some breakfast before going on a road trip through the western part of the island. We had originally planned to do a hike, but MJ and I were both short on energy, so we conceded and decided to have a chilled day. The road trip was really cool as we saw some of the greatest nature that was visible from the road in Madeira, and it made for a very cool road trip. We ended the journey by popping into Seixal, another small coastal town with some beautiful sea pools where the waves crash into the walls and rush into the (somewhat) unaffected natural pools. We stopped here and had a quick snack before deciding to go for a swim. MJ wanted a photo in the pool, so she went first, but the waves were still very rough, and as she went to enter a wave came over the wall and rushed toward her. She was knocked back to the stairs, and although she avoided any harm, we decided against a second attempt at entering. The waves were crazy rough today, but we thought that this area was protected enough to avoid a lot of the swell. Clearly not. After this, we went back to the room and made some dinner before putting on a movie and heading to bed.Read more
