Notes from 17th Aug 2004
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

I was quite surprise, I slept very good. Quite refreshed I went morning to shop to buy fresh baguettes. Whole morning I spent them walking across the small city taking few pictures of people and old building which isn't many here. Viera spent morning on the beach and we hope we can move to new apartment finally today after 15:00
We have plans to go to close bigger city Faro with bus after we arrange the move.

I feel much better today and seems that Viera as well. Morning next day I plan to go to the small fish port here and take some picture of returning fisher mens. After that we arranged renting of the car and have ideas about trip to inside of the country.
BTW: I am writing this notes from small stand on the beach with ADSL connection :-) I hope I can write more in next days as well.

We at the end get different apartment I am not sure if it is any better but Viera feels better and that is good. After that we take bus to the Faro, bigger city near by, the one which has airport and were we landed yesterday early morning. Bus was surprisingly OK. Nice cool air conditioned place and trip to longer than 30 minutes even with traffic jam at the busy crossing. As we get out in bus station we walked few street and got to the historical place. Dominant church with big bells was interesting. I walked up to the tower's terrace just next to the bells. Nice view from there and also nice church inside. We walked little there and found small place, which has a coffins in ground and altar made from humans skulls and bones. I hope shots will turn interesting.
We walk around historical part having some drinks and than returned for last bus at 20:00.

We eat grilled sardines on small restaurants were sympathic guy shows us how to eat them properly with bread. We also drunk Sagria, refreshing drink with red wine lemonade and floating peaces of apples and lemon. It was nice evening and with full stomach we walked down the beach to our place to get some sleep as we planed long trip for tomorrow. More to inside of the country.
