Lagos, in the Algarve region.
The main attraction is the beach, there being so many of them.
KAYAKING!
We had a lot of fun this morning kayaking. Although tough and tiring, haha. It was quite the experience to kayak along the Lagos coast, amongst the rocks, caves, history. At one point we were within a cave and had to quickly turn around to face the sea, but the currents were so strong, everyone was bumping into everyone else. One of the lone kayakers actually flipped over and was having a tough time getting back in due to the still crazy waves. Fun, eh? After that we chilled on the beach for a bit before heading back to the tour HQ.
Grabbing some Chicken Piri Piri from a shop, we continued walking through the city again, we were trying to decide what to do next. Hike to the beaches? Bike it? Bike Tour? What about tomorrow..? But we settled on biking the route ourselves, 10euro for a 24 hour rental, not bad. There were several shops renting bikes.
After getting our bikes, and some seats adjusted all the way down, off we go! Ugh. Up-hills. I haven’t biked since.. Greece. Greece was much more, uh, flatter, where we biked at least. There were paths along the cliffs where we saw bike tracks, but some of them were so so so small and rough, it was tough even hiking them. Crazy people. Our first bike stop isn’t actually a beach, it was the ruins of a castle that was built along the coastline. There were steps going down, and down, and into the water. We remember seeing it from the water in the kayaks, it was pretty cool. Then a series of stops along the coast involved: crazy bike paths, sand and sea, stairs, lots of stairs… Camilo Beach has about 240 steps from the top to the beach. From Camilo, we finally made it to the point, Ponte da Piedade. Very picturesque, especially with the sun setting. Biking back on the road, much much easier.. time for FOOD! After such a tiring day.
Nah Nah Bah burger joint. The atmosphere was nice, the food wasn’t bad, but the menu descriptions were hilarious! We all had the Toucan Burger. Attached below 😛
Time to go pass out.
Leaving Lagos tomorrow night!
