This is a short post as it’s been a pretty quiet couple of days.
It should come as no surprise that after a week of Peter coughing up a lung, Lynn woke up this morning with a cold. It’s not bad but she’s super tired so we stayed pretty close to home. The weather made that easy as it was cloudy and rainy all morning and most of the afternoon. This is supposed to be the last of it as the next couple of days are supposed to be sunny.
We had a very nice day yesterday (Thursday). After working out at the gym (the bike really helps loosen Peter’s ankles) we headed west to Cape de Sao Vincente or Cape of St. Vincent. It’s about 90 minutes west and is the southwestern most point in Europe. It was a gorgeous, sunny day so it was a nice drive down the coast. We visited the small lighthouse museum and enjoyed watching the waves crash against the cliffs. After watching the surfers for a few minutes and stopping by the ruins of a fortress, we headed to Lagos for the afternoon. It is one of the most visited cities in the Algarve as there are a ton of beautiful beaches, cool shops and great restaurants. It wasn’t too crowded yesterday but we imagine it will get crazy in the next month.
We had a delicious lunch on one of the squares then took a walk to yet another fortress. Lynn sat this one out while Peter explored. Then it was a bit of shopping before the drive back to Vilamoura. It was a low-key day but very nice.
Tomorrow while Lynn goes to her hair appointment at the spa, Peter is heading to the town of Loule to visit the Saturday market. If it’s nice we might rent bikes in the afternoon and explore Vilamoura.
Not much else going on so we’ll talk again soon. Love to all….
