Praia D'El Rey


 Taking my brother Scott and his wife, Vicki's traveling expertise, we went off road Friday.  We came upon this huge new development that many lots, but no new houses yet.  Did have a hilly golf course and a beautiful beach.



From there we headed to San Martinho do Porto further up the coast.  We pulled the car over to start using the Garmin when this very nice lady named Magda came to Jim's window.


We must have talked for 30 minutes.  Finally, she said follow me and I will take you part way.  So we did.  Ended up in a traffic jam in some nice town


She gave us further directions and we arrived in San Martinho do Porto.
Here is the view from ou lunch table.

While waiting for the pizza, Jim struck up a conversation with the realtor next door--checking house prices.

After lunch we drove to the top of the cliff overlooking the right side of the lagoon.



Not sure what these kites are called, but this gal flew right over us and waved.


Another long day and we headed"home".

Country of contrasts

We took a walk this afternoon-- it is only a block from the apartment.  Wanted to show you the two sides of a small fort on a narrow point.  Each side so different from the other. Tomorrow we pack and clean.  Monday we move to a new place for a week.  It is called Sesimbra and is located south of Lisbon on the Atlantic.  The picture of the apartment shows a balcony overlooking the ocean.  We shall see!!  (No pun intended) Then the following Tuesday we fly back to the Good 'Ole USA!!!!!

South

Drove South today.  Again we went off road.  We seem to have better luck finding neat things. More coastline, but each spot seems a little different. Ended up in a town called Lourinha where they were having a festival/market.  Walked around for a while  And drove "home"

Itinerary

The last 3 months have been pretty hectic at our house.  We have had tons of company--all of whom we enjoyed immensely.  During that time, Jim became ill with double vision and A-Fib.  He was in the hospital twice.  He still has the double vision and the A-Fib was brought under control with a procedure called a cryoablation.  We both decided it was time for a change of scenery!  So, with the doctors' permission, we planned a two month trip to Europe.  I was on the computer a good 14 hours lining up the places to stay and transportation. We leave this Sunday, April 30, from the Port of Tampa on the NCL's Jade for a repositioning cruise to England. 5/1/17       Key West 5/2/17       Miami 5/3--5/9    6 days at sea 5/9            Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal 5/10          At sea 5/11          At sea 5/12    ...
