Are we lost again?

Viseu to Lagos

Another long day of driving as we headed south towards Lagos on the Western Algarve coast. We had been close to Lagos back in 2019 when we stayed at nearby Portimão. 

The Australians we had spoken to at breakfast the previous morning had recommended visiting  Castillo de Tomar, a castle that was once a base for the Knights Templar. It was a perfect stop on our trip south with beautiful architecture and well worth the short detour, though at times we though there was something wrong with Google Maps as it took us through some very narrow roads and small villages.



We arrived at our marina accommodation in sunny Lagos in perfect time to meet our Melbourne friends, Isabel and John for a catch up. It's always pretty amazing when your trip coincidentally lines up with someone from home. We walked with them to the edge of the Lagos historic centre before returning for a surprisingly good Thai dinner.
