This morning it was chucking it down with rain and we made a lazy start of it. Eventually we got going and took a quick stroll around Lagos town centre which was pretty enough inside the old walls.
From there it was inland and on to Silves where there is an extremely well preserved 11th century castle built by the Moors. We wandered around there for a bit and took in the views on all sides.
Then it was back to the coast. We stopped for a coffee in a beach side bar in the late afternoon sunshine and watched lines of 2' clean waves roll in. Amazingly there was no one out there. Not for the first time this tour I wished I had my longboard with me.
Next it was time to find a camp site for the night. We figured we'd like to wild camp so we took the coast road towards Albufeira looking for a nice beach. We found only one which let campers stay and there was no one there but us so we pulled up. We're sat on a cliff top spur with stunning views across the sea to east, south and west. It was too dark to get a good photo when we camped up but hopefully tomorrow we will.
Cali thought: loved the outdoor table yesterday. Such a simple design to hide it in the door panel. And it was sturdy, solid and easy to use. Only complaint is that the door well gets used to store dirty shoes a lot so the table top was also dirty. However it cleans up really easily with a detol wipe.
