Day 83, Algoz, Portugal

The top of the cliff (above the beach)
Not a big day, quiet start and then went to a nearby beach, advertised as one of the top ten beaches in the world. Yes well, if Kaiteriteri and Split Apple Rock beach are up there in the top two, then the competition is tough. The approach is certainly stunning with huge steep cliffs and a long winding path to get to the beach. The beach itself was too crowded though and the water full of seaweed, very murky, so bit average all around. I guess we are just so spoiled in New Zealand.
Next a visit to a nearby town, very pretty and then home.

Tonight I went to a sand sculpture display. Was expecting 5 or 6,
but there were at least 60 or more. Absolutely stunning, the theme was music, and so well done. From musicals to movie theme music, to African tribe to buskers, rock bands, you name it, it was there. Apparently the biggest display in the world, held for the last 10 years. Artist from all over the world take two months to complete the display. It was lit up beautifully and it was a full moon tonight, so quite magic.

Look how narrow that house is!
Yes, the doors on either sides
belong to other houses.
