    Saturday Oct 11
    We woke up at 8:00 to find workers in our decks. Took pics and emailed Rentalgest. Enough already😫

    We picked up our bikes & headed out about 11. We decided to take the route we missed yesterday - Lagos east along the lovely path then north to Odirxere, west through Sargaçal, south west to Portalas, then back to Legos. There were about 3 steep climbs, but this time I did them all -including the - I walked up yesterday. Quite proud of myself. We were back in Lagos in 1.5 hours.
    We decided then to try to find the lookout posts we’d missed on Thursday - found them both thanks to Peter. For the first, we parked our bikes and wandered along the boardwalk. Lovely view.
    The 2nd - the Grotto is the furthest look out point, and well worth finding. The Grotto itself is a small hole in the rocks - but the cliffs are amazing.
    We found a spot for lunch in the heart of the old town, then got back to Rent a Bike to meet Valter at 4:00. By this time I was exhausted - happy to get home a bit early. Peter picked up Dorade-Sea Bream that he had filleted. Baked it over lemons - delish.
    As for the workers - disaster. The windows were shuttered and the furniture under a tarp. Took pics & emailed Rentalgest again. Bottom line - they said they’d reimburse us. We’ll see . . . . .
