[Ericeira 29th Aug-4th Sept.]
Drove an hour south to the town of Ericeira, just 40km North of Lisbon. Lots of headlands and cliff faces with right hand point breaks. Checked out the coastline and then went to our accommodation, Beach Tour Ericeira. A really nice two bedroom apartment with pools and ocean glimpses. Spent the next days at the beach (water getting chiily), eating the local produce and drinking local wine and beer. One day we headed into Lisbon and went to the Castle of St. George and their version of Scitech. Indiya and Jarah really enjoyed the Science Centre. On our last day we had to sell Matt's surfboard and some of the camping gear we had accumulated in Hossegor. We set up a car park sale at the beach. Finally around 4.00pm an English guy bought the board, which was a relief as we didn't want to carry it around Europe. This area is a great place to visit and relatively inexpensive.
