Euphoria

While checking the EVS-line ( phases of emotions during the period abroad), we decided that both of us are on the level of anger. So what to do about it? After a while of thinking we started to open the map of Algarve and we decided that we need to discover untouched places: Aljezur we’re coming. J Friday morning we took the train straight to Lagos and from there the bus to Aljezur. This was just a little trip of 3 hours. :P Destination: Praia de Monte Clérigo. Tortuous and hilly roads, we are stronger. J

 

 

When we reached the beach, the view overwhelmed us. We started to walk and on the way we saw a lot of nice places.

 

 

 

That evening we also went to Praia de Arrifana. There we saw a beautiful sunset.   

 

We were glad that we could stay in a typical house to feel the real atmosphere. Saturday morning we woke up very early (7:15 a.m.) to see the sunrise through the hills straight from our balcony. Okaaay, 20 minutes of waiting for the sunrise, the strong wind made our bones to shiver (yeahyeah, we know we had the possibility to come 20 minutes later, but people from the north are always to early).

 

 

After that we had a short powernap and then the day started with a loooooong walking trip through  Parque Natural Do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina with Praia de Monte Clérigo as starting point. It was 6 km walking through untouched places where you could let the silence speak, from the rocky hills and the huge waves to sandy dunes. Buuuut, how to know where we are? As usual we lost the way ( a little bit J ). After walking another ~4 km’s we found our place where we stayed.

 

Sunday, time to go home. But oops, there’s no bus? Okay, one important rule in life: NEVER SAY NEVER. The only solution: hitch-hiking. While considering who’s going to keep the paper and who’s going to do thumbs up, a car already stopped (3 minutes of work, we were so lucky). Woohoo we’re on our way to Lagos.

 

  

After ~30 minutes in the car, we went straight to the beach in Lagos for a nice picnic.

 

 

Bye bye different and nice weekend, we enjoyed you!!!
