The Lighthouse
March 1, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Today was extremely windy and on and off rain. We decided to break our cabin fever with a short trip to the nearby lighthouse. This is also where there are some of the most spectacular vistas in the area. Normally, bright blue and calm, the sea was angry and green today and the wind almost knocked me down while I was taking pictures (literally... Reha had to hold on to me LOL). Mother nature provided some extraordinary camera ops today ... enjoy!Read more
Traveler This old lighthouse is a true landmark ... very near our apartment.

Tavira, Portugal
February 23, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Today, we decided to take the 2 1/2 hour drive to the far eastern edge of the Algarve, to a beautiful town called Tavira. It is literally a few short miles to the Spanish border. This is a sleepy, relaxed town where we had the best lunch (cod in a creamy potato sauce). After lunch, we strolled the narrow streets and stopped for a coffee sitting by the river. Heavenly! The storks were nesting as we made the drive down. Pictures are not great, as they were shot from the car but if you look closely, you'll see babies in one of the nests!Read more

February 20, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Not much happening today...jet lag! Beautiful, sunny day. Had our breakfast on the patio listening to the seagulls down in the swimming pool. Quick trip to the store and a nice, long nap. Isn't life great? The photo was taken 2 years ago. There are wonderful rock formations and grottos where you can take a boat trip within walking distance from our apartment.. On our list of things to do!Read more

Lagos, Portugal.
February 18, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Finally arrived after 27 hours on the road. The trip was pretty uneventful. Arrived Lisbon around 6:15 am, huge lineup at passport control, but our bags arrived without delay and we caught a cab to the train station without any problem. Caught the train and 3 1/2 hours later, we arrived in Lagos. Literally planes, trains and automobiles! Rental car was waiting at the train station. A real plain jane, but meets our needs. Gorgeous weather awaited us. Sunny, warm and a fabulous sea breeze. The apartment we rented way exceeds expectations. Nothing fancy, but everything we need and very clean. 2 bed 2 bath with large terrace, a sea view (and a washing machine)! Now, were off for a trip to the grocery for supplies then I imagine sitting on the terrace with our feet up and adult beverages in hand. Stay tuned.Read more
Traveler It looks lovely. Relax after your long journey and enjoy 👍😎

We'll, we're officially on our way! Sitting at the Newark airport having a snack ...4 hour wait time! But its been an exciting start (typical Altug vacation), as Reha unplugged the battery in my car last night (it's located in the trunk) and then shut the trunk with the keys inside! The only other key is the valet key... Which does not open the trunk! Good ol' jaguar... Theft proof. Only problem is we have no idea how we will get it open! Oh well,. We'll have a few months before we need to figure that out.

Next stop...Lisbon! Stay tunedRead more
