The Algarve

Those of you who know this province will know it is the district that the rich & famous come to play. Well we don't really qualify for the rich & are only a little bit famous. Tonight we are staying in a Lagos resort / camping ground that is truly over the top for our motorcycle cruising style. You can order a golf buggy thing to take you to the restraurant from your site. Getting out of Lisbon this morning was always going to be a challenge. Traffic  meant we only moved 10 kms from our camp in 1 hour, but once we were on the huge suspension bridge that spans Lisbon harbour we were away. We had some of the best riding to date along the coast on the secondary roads with great scenery & plenty of twisties. The waters along the coast are crystal clear  & would be great for divers. All the small villages have seen a building boon here in the last 10 years to service Europeans from colder climates.
Our NZ number plates & NZ stickers draw plenty of comments where ever we go. One guy wound down his window at the traffic lights in Lisbon & yelled out  All Blacks.!!
