Going west

16th February

We have been told about a Campervan mobile SOS guy who calls into the site most weeks and we are thinking of a) buying a new gas adapter. One that will fit and not spray gas everywhere. And b) seeing if he could get a new skylight for us. Two quotes from the uk are for £500. Just for a rectangular piece of Perspex! But whilst the dog leads are holding, not sure if it is completely weatherproof. He confirms he will be at our car park here on Saturday, so we decide to head off to Lagos and come back here to meet him then.

First we take in the village of Ferragudo which stands on the opposite bank of the Arade river to Portimao.







We chose to have our morning coffee in a restaurant overlooking the small quay area. The service and fesh fish looked amazing and we discussed coming back one night for supper until we saw the menu. Fish main courses being €22 which is really expensive for Portugal. Looking in the estate agents window, this place is obviously popular and pricey.

We drove on to Lagos and arrived at a really run down site around 4.30 ish. Still, it is only for one night and we wanted to catch up with the laundry. I was amazed to see so many english vanners staying here, all very chummy with each other. We couldn't see the attraction at all. The site is on the cliffs on the west side of the river and we walked down some really steep steps to the beach. I forgot my camera and kicked myself. The sandy cliffs were an amazing reddy colour and quite beautiful.
