spontaneous Portugal

The last stopover of our journey was Portugal! This was so unexpected cause our last destination should had be originally Gibraltar. But what can be better than a spontaneous decisions taken DURING a mini Europe trip? Exactly,nothing!

The name of the region we went to was Algarve. Only later I heard from a portuguese friend that apparently this is the ugliest area of Portugal, what I really couldn't (and still can not) believe. Inconspicuous city Faro suprised us with a beautiful landscape of a water rock town. A nice lady on the pavement convinced us to take part at a small trip by a boat around the rocks.

Without doubt, the main reason for our decision (made by me and girls of course) was the handsome guide Rafael, whos funny stories about the rocks history made us pleasant during the entire ride. The most crazy thing was to jump out from the boat and enjoy some (even if cold!) minutes in the Atlantic Ocean. After the ride the female part of our crew couldn't resist going to the flea market. The diversity of native products was breathtaking, everyone had to buy something to keep the memory of this place for a longer time. After this efficient day we found a camping, where we could spend the night to gather strenght for the way back. This was for sure the best finish of the trip we could imagine Emotikon smile
