Lagos to Portimao - 9 Miles

Praia de Rocha, Portimao


FRIDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2007

Roger and I set off about 10.00 a.m. for Villamoura, about 25 miles away, but there was a 2 metre swell and a Force 5 on the nose which made the sea very uncomfortable and Susannah was only making about 3.5 knots. We decided to divert to Portimao and arrived about 1 p.m. We met up with Barbara and Geoff on Eliza J who are here for the winter.

We had a walk around Praia de Rocha, which seems rather run down compared to Lagos and a lot of the cafes were closed for the winter.


Marina: 16.14 euros
WiFi: 3 euros an hour

PORTIMAO

The forecast was the same as yesterday, so we decided to stay in Portimao until tomorrow. We had a leisurely start to the day and Barbara came for coffee on her own, as Geoff has got a bad cold. Roger and I cycled to the town after lunch and went out for a meal in the evening.
