We finally saw land again: The southcoast of Spain, Cabo Finistrerre.  

 

 

 

   
   

 

We arrived at the coast of Portugal. The flag suffered from the strong wind, we had to replace it.         
   

 

Early morning in Leixoes, the harbour of Oporto.

       
   

 

Our second stop in Portugal: Nazaré.        
   

 

Fishing activities in the harbour.

A lot of the work ashore is done by women.        
   

 

In Sagrés our boat got afloat because an old anchoring buoy cut the rope (we didn,t make a proper knot..) were our boat was holding on.        
   

 

The boat caused some damage to a marine vessel and we had to negotiate with Luis, the police officer.        
   

 

It worked out well, so we could continue our travel. We went to Lagos, at the south coast (the Algarve)        
   

 

Inge and Michiel came to join us for a week. Inge had a sunburn so she had to protect especially her ears and neck.        
   

 

Michiel spotted many bird.        
   

 

The food was exellent.        
   

 

This railwaystation in Silvés reminded us at the wild west        
   

 

Monday April the 30th Inge and Michiel took the plane back home in Faro.        
   

 

And we moved on to Gibraltar.
