Cliff Dwelling Cats, Cool Dogs, and Sunburned Travelers Hanging Out near the End of The World
Europe » Portugal » Algarve » Albufeira
Located in the middle of the southern coast of Portugal, in the area known as the Algarve, is the little beach town of Albuferia. While this town often gets a bad rap in the various travel guides, we find the old town to be delightful. With the official greeter, shown in the first photo, who couldn't be ready to relax and adopt his laid back attitude. Albuferia is especially nice if you plan a trip for any month other than July or August when it is totally over flowing with sun seeking tourists. The golden sandstone cliffs with tunnels leading [View Full Entry]

We arrived to a lovely day in Faro, southern Portugal - the sunshine was a welcome change to the smoggy london weather! We elected to take a public bus to our apartment in Albufiera (about 15miles from Faro airport), little did we know that we would spend the next 4+ hours (!) tiki-touring around the general area! It was quite an ordeal, considering we just wanted to get to our hotel complex and relax - On the up-side we did see a lot of the area around the Portugese section of the Algarve coast - whether we liked it or [View Full Entry]

AHHHHHH!!!! LAGOS Lets just say...Laura and I love, love, love, lovvvvvveeeeeeee Lagos!!!!!!!!! We are about ready to drop anchor here for the rest of our trip. To give you an example of why I love Lagos so much.....Laura and I decided to go on a boat ride around some grottos. When we got back that guy the guy that booked our boat ride offered us his own homemade red wine, bread and cheese. And it may sound weird in writing about a stranger offering us wine and all but it was in a public area and I donºt think he [View Full Entry]

So, iºm in lagos, portugal...sitting at a bar....pints only 2.50 euros....with free internet...canºt beat it!!!! The trek from dublin to lagos was a long one, but well worth it. We couldnºt find a hostel in dublin our last night (stupid us, we didn´t plan ahead for a friday night in ireland), so we slept in the airport instead...flew to porto, portugal at 925am, and arrived somewhere around noon. We took the metro from the airport to the train station for only 1.85 euros...not bad. We then made a reservation for the train, 4 euros each leg of the trip (portugal [View Full Entry]

My jet setting parents pop in for a long weekend in Portugal
Europe » Portugal » Algarve » Lagos
Two weekends ago (man, we're behind on this blog!) my parents came to visit us in Portugal - my mom for the second time and my dad for the first. They had been on a hiking trip in Tuscany the previous week (they lead very rough lives) and were able to arrange their flights so they came through Lisbon on the way home. Jason and I rented a car in Coimbra and met my parents at the airport in Lisbon on Saturday. We drove south from the airport to the Algarve and stayed in Lagos again, this time at a [View Full Entry]

MAD ABOUT MADDY!-The Madeleine McCann Mystery- A travellers Perspective
Europe » Portugal » Algarve
As a traveler, having travelled myself through many countries with my children.. safely I might add... and looking at all the media attention re : Maddy... I am automatically sensing deeply within myself... that something is fishy with this whole affair... in fact I would go as far to say... ITS A HOAX!... No logical reasoning , just plain old fashioned ... intuition...!It just doesn't all add up...in short it is not a clear cut case at all... there are too many parallel coincidences and too much media attention.... its not all obvious as the tv and newspapers portay... there [View Full Entry]

My family visits and we tour the Algarve, Coimbra, Lisbon, and more!
Europe » Portugal » Algarve
Two weeks ago, my parents, my brother, and my Grandpa and his wife Loretta came to visit. We covered a lot of ground in Portugal during their week here. Lindsay and I picked everyone up at the airport in a big “Transporter” 9-person Volkswagen Van, so we had plenty of room for the 7 of us plus luggage and lots of car snacks. We were happy everyone made it to Portugal on time despite all of the storms and short flight connections they had in the States. We took the 2.5 hour drive down to Lagos, in the Algarve, and [View Full Entry]

Hello dearies! Ok, so there was an excuse for my late blogging coming back from Morocco, but I cannot seem to find a good excuse as to why I have not posted in over 2 months… ummm, sorry! I am currently in Portugal on a farm near the small town called Carapateria which is in the South Western tip. Alison and I made it safely last night despite both of us being severely directionally challenged. The Small farm is called Cunca, so yall should try and look it up on the internet at some point because I think they have [View Full Entry]
