Day 85, Algoz, Portugal

Pretty rugged
Dinner with the host family was lovely last night. Hilarious stories by a friend of theirs visiting from Spain, a very funny story teller. Dinner was beautiful homemade pizzas, we had Mojitos (Mexican cocktail) made by Isabella and Axel and heaps of laughs, so what more could you ask for!
Visited a market today, starting to look at clothes to take to Morocco, apparently you need to cover up there, so there goes my shorts! Bought some harem pants, now need long sleeved blouses.
Later I visited some nearby beaches, much nicer than the one the other day. These
 deserted....
were beautiful, and admittedly quite close in ranking to NZ ones, haha! Nice and quiet too. A big walk in the dunes, with some spectacular views.
I must tell you about the Portuguese language. For some time I thought it would be quite close to Spanish for some reason (being neighbours and all) but it's actually very Slavic, to me sounding almost Russian in nature. That's when I remembered the scenes from Love Actually (apologies to those who have not seen this great movie) where Jamie and Aurelia don't understand the other's language, her being Portuguese and him English!
and beautiful
