PORTUGAL 07 August - 09 August 2011 (Porto, Figueira da Foz, Nazare,)

Bom Dia!
Porto was a fantastic city. As we drove in we could see a massive marina and the fish/mussel farms set up just off the coast. We stayed at Campismo Marisol on the beach and it was a beautiful day. We went for a pushie ride along the esplanade and at the end they had a big Portugese Festival where they were singing and dancing in their traditional outfits.
We had some drinks and ended up at a Latin Dance Club lol! We had another drink here and EJ got talking to the DJ that was playing. After a little sweet-talking by the husband, he agreed to give me a little lesson in Salsa, which I jumped at lol! We had a little dance and I later found out that this guy ‘Ricardo’ is under no. 10 Latin Dancer in the world and the party was full of women and men that follow him to all of his parties in the hope that they will get a chance to dance with him. They were all very jealous haha
The next day we keep cruising down to Figueira da Foz, another beautiful sea side city. We have been very lucky to love every place we have come across. Portugal reminds us a lot of home with their massive sandy beaches and down to earth, happy-to-help people. After a long push bike ride (we are finally starting to burn off all of food we ate in Serbia haha) we went for a walk down on the beach. It was so windy we nearly got blown away and had to retreat as we were being stung so badly by the sand, so we went to the pub instead lol. Later that night, after our siesta, we went to check out the nightlife. We are loving the food and drinks here, fresh seafood everywhere and EJ especially likes their Sagres Cerveja which is a Portugese beer !
Next morning we drove to Nazare, which is renowned to be very ‘touristy’. We had a coffee on the beach and kept heading south!
