Figueira da Foz

It's only been a couple of days, but the both of us already don't remember how our trip from Aveiro to Figuera da Foz was. If we had to guess it was probably another motor sail one. Along the way Bart has been in contact with Tjeerd and Marieke from the Ella. The both of us are trying to get on the good side of the low pressure zone further south. We invited them over for dinner and since we still have a lot of tomatoes we start with some bruschetta followed by a tomato, walnuts and burrata risotto. A very tasty leftovers meal 😋 and a very nice evening together.

The next morning we set an alarm for 8 a.m. to see if there was going to be any wind so we could move on. Unfortunately, there wasn't any. The day after there should be some wind especially later in the afternoon. We decide to turn off the alarm and turn around for a bit more sleep. After 2 hours I woke up a new person ready for the day. Bart had already been awake for at least an hour 😅. We explored the town of Figueira da Foz for a bit. Compared to the other cities and towns we have been to, Figueira da Foz felt a bit neglected. A lot of the buildings and streets could really use some renovation. Furthermore, since we are getting closer to the surfing Valhalla 🏄🏽, the widely stretched beaches are accompanied by lots of high(er) rise buildings and tourist accommodation and attractions. Foz, as the locals seem to call it, isn't our town. We return to Nimrod to watch the Rings of Power (prequel series to Lord of the Rings), it's nerd time 🤓.Read more
