Today we took off from the beautiful Casa Marga Villa (our new home) to see the most westerly point of Europe - Cabo St. Vincente. It has an old lighthouse that unfortunately is closed for renovations. You are very high up on a cliff but it was pretty cool. From there we went into Sagres for lunch - at a nice restraurant overlooking the water - and then on the the Sagres Fortress. It was built in 1587 and was originally a navigational school but was also a fortress to protect the are from pirates and undesirables. It is huge. Pretty had to get into this as it was a sheer drop to the water.
Then meandered our way back. Hardly got lost at all. Luckily here there are traffic circles so it's easy to change directions when you miss a turnoff. You can get very dizzy though. Had supper at a beauiful resort that is next door to our villa. We are now off on another ABZ adventure. Here are a few pictures from yesterday. We'll sign on again tomorrow.
