This is about a 15-20 min. drive from where Martha & Tim live

You can walk on a beautiful boardwalk from the Miradouro overlook into town

The lagoon is the largest in Europe and home to all kinds of birds, including flamingos

Improvements underway at the train station. We had to supervise.

Day 4: A trip to Staples & Foz do Arelho

September 25, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

10.5k👣 5Z🧡

Slept in today to 11am (!!!)
Overcast, with light rain
After brunch, Joe & I walked down to Staples. We were looking for a way to attach a plastic envelope holding our baggage sherpa instructions to each of our bags. Spent a good while looking for a Goldilocks solution until we decided what might be good enough instead. Meanwhile, I drooled over the array of back-to-school supplies, including beautiful art materials (!!!).
After a lunch of leftovers, we walked to the train station 🚉 to purchase our tix to Porto for tomorrow
Caught a Bolt from there to Foz JUST IN TIME for the sunset 🌇, hence all today's pix along the boardwalk there
Got to see windsurfing and foils in action
Restaurants in Foz were all closing (or serving €60 dinners😵‍💫), so we Bolted and taxied back to Caldas for poke bowls and burgers instead
Up early tomorrow to catch the 6:13am train!Read more
