Portugal




Holidayed in the Algarve region of Portugal to bask in its warmth and to indulge in its seafood. The UK weather is getting me depressed and I really needed the sun and its vitamin D.

Lagos, Portugal



Igreja de Santa Maria


Igreja de Santo Antonio


The Lagos Castle





The Algarve coast,




A Herculean task- Lifting a rock

Went to Praia Dona Ana and Praia Do Pinhao. The pics are a jumble hahaha. The praias (beaches) all look the same ok. You tell me you can differentiate one rock from another meh? #Not a geologist
