Lagos

So many photos.

The only downside that I find to coming home from a vacation, apart from the sadness that my leisure time is at an end, is that I have so much work ahead to go through my photos, cull the bad shots or ones that are duplicates, and edit the ones that are real keepers. On a vacation that lasts weeks, the culling and editing process can sometimes take longer than the vacation itself.

I know: first-world problem.

By the end of the sixth day of our trip to Portugal, I have captured more than a thousand images and have recorded more than two hours of video. And we still have 10 days to go.

I'll be lucky if I've finished editing before our next vacation, in January.

We're currently in the city of Lagos, on the southern coast of Portugal, in the Algarve region. We started our visit with a three-hour kayak tour of the jagged rock formations that form the cliffside coast. It was a great way to see these structures and gives you a wonderful perspective.

The next day, we walked along a trail that follows the top of the cliffs and also leads down to the water in some places. We covered more than 10 kilometres before we ordered an Uber ride back to our hotel.

Our hotel, by the way, is amazing. It's a family-run establishment that has a rooftop patio and offers a great view of the oldest part of the city (the hotel is within the old fortified walls). In fact, I wrote this post and yesterday's post while sipping some flavoured water on the patio.

Later today, we'll leave the Algarve for Lisbon, where we'll stay for eight days, with side trips to Sintra and Cascais. But in the meantime, here are some highlights of Legos: just a couple of the many photos that I'll have to sift through when I get home.

Happy Friday!
