From Lisbon we headed down south. We wanted to take mainly small rural routes to discover villages and people outside of the main stream, although it wasn't really the high season anyway. The weather took a turn for the worse, and our road trip was pretty much accompanied with light showers and squally winds, which we didn't really mind. We cosied it up later on in our hotel's jacuzzi you see...

On the road down we made several stops at cutest little lighthouses and we were amazed by the coastline's massiveness. It wasn't until just before the dusk that the Navigator actually indicated that we've come to the very last edge of the Europe.

Cabo Sardao - a rural cape with endless cliffs...and birds nesting on them!

This is where our annual road trippin' tradition got started- Portugal! The late January 2011 we got to Lisbon, and it was the first time for both of us. Boy were we pleasantly surprised! The city seemed to have it all: old romantic parts with their history, waterfronts, hills, shopping districts, bar districts, sights, a beautiful Castello and so forth. But what came as a big stunner, was that Lisbon's very clean and tidy.
