Got the coach from Seville to Lagos, left at 07:30 and arrived around 13:00 but slept and watched some stuff and it went quickly.
Took a taxi to the hotel, the room was very nice. Walked into the town and stopped at a restaurant in the main street for a Peri Peri chicken (think Nandos). Song had some tapas. Meal was OK, not spectacular. The weather was changable – when the sun was out it was too hot to wear a coat, then when it went in it was too cold without it. Mostly the sun was out and it was quite pleasant.
Walked around the town, it’s quite small and most of it is contained inside the old city walls. Quite a few people about, heard English, French and German. I think the town is a popular English tourist destination because all the signs are in English. Although it made it easy for us it was a bit disappointing because it made the town seem less exotic.
Walked to the slave market but it was closed, so went to the old fort and pottered about there. Took some photos, then walked back to the hotel. Only then realised the time zone was different to Spain and we’d gained an hour, throwing out our body clocks again.
This walking around stuff certainly tires you out; we decided to stay in the hotel again.
Back on the road tomorrow, will spend the morning in Lagos then take another bus to Lisbon. We’re in Lisbon for 3 nights so not so much travelling for the next few days, but probably more walking.
