So last time, I left off at Lisbon. I think I had just woken up from a nap? So to continue from there..we went to see this church was that really hammered by this earthquake and instead of re-building it, they thought it was more romantic to leave it the way it is. It was beautiful and amazing to be in the structure of it but without the rooftop. It was built in the 1890´s. After the church..I um..went back and took another nap. I haven´t been feeling 100%..not sure it is was the flight or if I am finally reacting to all the meds I was on for my foot and then the hives I got right before the trip?? Our last night in Lisbon was..something. People in Lisbon don´t sleep. They just don´t. We fall asleep to men screaming at each other until 2am. That night, they stopped at 2am..just in time for the trash truck and then followed by the recycling truck. I thought..u´ve got to be kidding me?! Oh but that wasn´t the last of it..here comes street cleaning. Finally, at 3am..two hours of silence for some Zzzz. We had a 830am train to catch. We decided to head to Salema, the Algarve coast of Portugal because I just wanted to play on the beach. We first arrived in Lagos- didn´t like it one bit. It looked like Sausalito gone to hell- full of tourists, shops and never ending restaurants. We hopped on a taxi to Salema instead which was 20 min away.
In Salema, we found a place to stay by my second try. Salema is just a plain sleepy beach town. It has one main road, one mini mart, two large restaurants, a handful of places to stay, many fishing boats and a nice pretty beach. Our first day there, we sun bathed and then had dinner followed by bedtime. Our second day there, we went to the bus station in Lagos to get bus tickets for today, went back to the hotel to take a nap then went and played on the beach for the rest of the day.
