Bem-vindo a Portugal!

The alarm shrilled at 6 o'clock, and at 7 I left Dolores' and her wonderful flat and town. We were sorry we could not spend more time together, because she had to work everyday from early morning till late at night as a tourist guide (sometime for ver.di!). But she helped me have a great time at El Puerto, all the same.
The train took me to Sevilla San Bernardo, which was not the best choice of a station - no connection by bus to the big bus station plaza de armas where the busses start on their way westwards. Yeah, well: think positive! I had the chance to walk along the river and enjoy the wonderful buildings...
The bus took me to Loule and there I got the next to Quarteira, where I had a coffee and a pastel de nata (reminder of my favourite coffeeshop in Berlin) while waiting for my host Steffi.
And now I'm sitting in her small office room in Vilamoura, nice smells coming from the kitchen (she's cooking spaghetti, and she lived in italy for years, so she defintely knows how to cook great spaghetti!), the beach is awaiting us from just round the corner. Hmmmm - nice place, Portugal!
