Ericeira and Foz do Sizandro

I really wanted to go to Ericeira, because I’ve been here eleven years ago, my first attempt to surf took place here* and I remember the place as a really cute small town.
Unfortunately all around here seems quite camper-unfriendly and most of the beach parking lots have height restrictions and there aren’t many other options to park (let alone public transport). The streets are super narrow and after trying some car parks and none were available we went further a bit past Ericeira to a Quicksilver Shop with cafe and skateboard area. We spent some time there enjoying the AC and shopping a bit.
Funnily enough the surf school I was at parked right in front of us - with my old surf teacher! (I didn’t go to tell him that, he must have taught so many more people within this time.)
So after our Quicksilver experience we just made our way to our overnight stop - which was better than expected! Behind some dunes just at the river and ocean. Nick had time to continue our surfboard set-up and Jaro and I played inside and outside (it was really windy again).
The next morning we went for a skinny dip into the ocean (we were the only ones there). This wasn’t too easy, the waves were quite big and I (Marnie) managed them all well, except one, that threw me back on the beach. Since it didn’t hurt it was super funny 😀

*two weeks with Nadine either surfing or working out - and I met Margherita and her sister Chiara here. Who would have known we’re still friends 💕Read more
