Lagos

Can you guess where we are??

Only 20 or 30 km away from Sagres is the famous Portuguese town - Lagos! Its very popular with tourists and we could see why! Its a beautiful little town with small cobblestoned streets packed with restaurants and shops. And its positioned on a nice sheltered bay with yellow sand beaches in copper coloured coves.

We were walking around one evening in town after we had finished dinner and as we walked past a pub I recognised a guy that I play rugby with! What a small world, he was there on a surf camp for the week. So we met up with the next night for some beers and to swap some tales/lies/stories about what we'd been up to.

We stayed in a camp ground in the middle of town with rock hard ground with a heap of gum trees (native to Australia). Gum nuts on hard ground do not make for a comfy bed...

While we were in Lagos I sorted myself out with another job back in London for when we came back from holiday. The only bad bit was that they wanted me to come back a week earlier than we wanted to. So we decided to push on, back in to Spain and towards Gibraltar.
