We are now in France and it’s been ten days since we left Portugal but I need to put the boat trip in. WH and I were initially not going to do it as I was feeling a bit poorly the day before and the water looked quite choppy with white caps, but D and K had booked it so had bad FOMO and we booked as well.
It did not disappoint. We went on the first trip of the morning and the water was really calm and the tide low.
We cruised along the coast and our skipper and guide took us in and out of caves. I didn’t like the experience of going inside them. Felt a bit weird when you walk around the beach and there is danger, DANGER, signs everywhere depictimg how not go on the shore under the falling rocks and then you go right underneath them, and through them and even in some cases out the other side.
The area was beautiful and when we went to Bengali cave our guide told us that this was what had made Carvoeiro famous, previously it was a little fishing village but then they put a photo of the famous cave with a hole in the top, Bengali cave, as a Microsoft screensaver and whola.
Seems a while ago now. Carvoeiro that is, and its sun. The weather was lovely and we enjoyed its warmth and then it was back to Lisbon for D and K to catch their flight home and us to fly out to Nice in a couple of days. It was great doing travel adventure with D&K, sharing wonderful moments and making special rocking chair memories. We will miss them.
