2015 06 15 Porto Covo to Sagres
Today's little ride from our GPS 

15th – 16th June 2015
Porto Covo to Sagres

I know it looks like we are having a good day every day but some are better than others and the last two days have been great.  Starting with a really nice breakfast in Porto Covo and then a short ride through some beautiful coastal towns.  Then we arrived in Sagres where we found a really good room in a fantastic spot with a view that anybody would love, especially Jenni C.  It didn't take long to decide to stay for two nights.  

Sagres, or more specifically the lighthouse, is the most South Westerly point of mainland Europe.  
Faro de Cabo de San Vicente translate to The lighthouse Cape Saint Vincent. For those of you who don’t know we live near a lighthouse which is  located on the Gulf of Saint Vincent. Well I thought it was interesting :)

“On the go” through some great little towns and Sheep Shunter II even went on dirt roads, but the scenery was definitely worth it.








A great spot to relax for a couple of days :) The view from our balcony. 

Our balcony from the beach.


And in between relaxing it’s a great spot to walk on the beach and take a look  at some historical sites like the fort and the lighthouse.  









 Not sure if  I'm in the Mediterranean or the Atlantic, either way, it's bloody cold.

Can guess what  Maurice is thinking?


Yep. you guessed it  "boy these would make good Emu rocks, I wonder how I can get them home or to Switzerland".
