[QUOTE=gpsguru;796942]If you speak Portuguese Grant, then I take my hat off to you ! ..........

I wish, I don't think I'll live long enough! I can get by in restaurants/shops etc but that's it. Listening to Portuguese speaking with each other it might as well be Arabic!

The first time I heard it, I thought it was Russian or some Balkan language, there’s a lot of “shh” in it.

Well the weather gods smiled on us today. Unusually for Sagres, the wind dropped completely & the sea was as flat as the proverbial witches mammaries. So this morning, in she went. We had a run up to Cap St Vincent (the southwestern most point of mainland Europe) & saw the Gigantes rock. This resembles the head of a giant looking up to the sun. The coastline is magnificent, more sea caves & blowholes than you can shake a stick at. Days like these make the long drag worthwhile.Click image for larger version

Aye, dipped the rod in a few places; under the fort as you recommended, nowt/FA/bugger all. I must be doing it wrong[emoji849]. Still had a cracking day though, now sat having a G&T waiting for the sunset. It’s a hard life[emoji12]

The missus got a video of a blowhole inside a cave, but I can’t post videos for some reason & I don’t do YouTube. I’ll have to figure it out, it’s quite interesting in a show & tell kinda way[emoji6]
