Pippi Hendl Hey everyone
After 5 beautiful days of rest and relaxation in portugal we have now made it to Valencia for the finals of the Americas cup.
We arrived in Portugal after a near sleepness nite on an overnite train from Santiago-Madrid then a flight from Madrid-Faro which is the closest airport to where we were staying.It was about 32 plus degrees and everyone kept telling us the weather was gonna get better but we thought it was choice as it was!!Then the next day on the beach turned us into lobsters which was how we would look for the next 4 days...bugger.We stayed in a nice hotel in praia de Roche which was a mean beach. Visited Lagos for a day and took a boat ride to check out the coast.Enjoy these photos of Portugal and the next blog will be of us winning the Americas cup.Valencia has the most electric atmosphere at the moment but you will see more of that soon.....
Thinking of you all........pip and ry xx
