Weather: Sunny until mid afternoon when a layer of high cloud built. Breezy for a few hours in the middle of the day, making it feel cooler than of late.
A visit to Decathlon at Portimao only added a few kilometres onto our journey to Lagos, so that's where we were to be found mid-morning today. Two new sports bras were soon procured to replace the one that went missing yesterday (I did check with the office this morning, but no-one had handed it in). Then it was onwards to Lagos, where the Aire was quite easy to spot:
Our 'All the Aires' book says the capacity is 20. There are rather more than that here, but still plenty of space.
It's a couple of kilometres from here into town, but mostly along a nice riverside promenade...
That's tomorrow's running route sorted then!
...and that's where we headed this afternoon, for a quick recce of the location of the places I'd intended us to visit tomorrow. None of the three main visitor attractions in the old town (Slave Market, Municipal Museum, Fort) would have particularly grabbed me individually, but I must be a sucker for a discounted combined ticket. That plan suffered a blow when we found that the museum is currently closed for renovation.
We didn't explore at great length, but the old town, within substantial walls, seemed nice enough for a wander. It is tourist resorty, but not quite to the extent of Albufeira. It also seems to be stuffed full of Brits, altough we are very much a minority at the Aire.
By the time we were on our way back to Bertie the sun had well and truly been obscured by a layer of cloud and I was glad to have a windshirt, although my legs were still warm enough in shorts. The locals, of course, are still wrapped up in their big jackets.
Some motorhomes have much more character than others!
