Silly piri piri

Lagos

We walked to the historic centre in search of a flat white and instead found boomerangs painted in Australian designs - weird. 

We then drove to Ponta da Piedade, Portugal's equivalent to the 12 Apostles (sort of, if they allowed tourist boats and kayaks). There were many boardwalks to multiple viewing points but many visitors bypassed them and preferred cross country.

The Mediterranean was as beautiful as always as we drove on to Praia de Luz. It was lovely to see white soft sand after the disappointing grey sand of Costa de Sol, there were plenty of beachgoers as well as some quite interesting water vehicles for hire. 

For dinner we went in hunt of Portuguese's famous piri piri chicken, only to be disappointed with dry, tasteless tourist fare. It's our own fault, the warning signs were there so we really should have known better.
