Portugal and our way home

Most westerly point in Europe

Road in the Sierra in Portugal
At last Dieter's friends contacted us and we made arrangements to meet up with Susan at 10.30 the nexxt morning. Supper was taken in a nice bar on the promenade at Querateria, where we watched Barcelona beat Man U. 3.1 Walked back to the site and so to sleep. Rain lashed down most of the night. Next morning off we went to the rendezvous to meet Susan at 10.30 a.m., when she hadn't arrived by 11.00 a.m., we were a tad concerned, then I asked if Portugalwas on the same time zone as Spain, Dieter said that his phone automatically adjusted to the appropriate time zone and it was the same time as Spain, I checked on my IPOD and put in Portugal and sure enough it was on the same time zone as the U.K. so we kept ourselves amused for the next 30 minutes when Susan arrived on the dot of 10.30 a.m. She took us up to their fabulous home on the side of one of the hills overlooking Faro, her and Gez had built their dream home from scratch and it is still an ongoing project and is truly a "Dream Home" with stunning views from every aspect. We had lunch in Faro and walked along the marina before returning up the mountain and then leaving Susan and Gez, before returning back to the site for supper. Next day it was raining again when we headed for Sagres, the most westerly point in Europe. The weather was dire so after photographing the site we made our way back to Spain.
