Extremities


The most south-westerley point in Europe is also in Portugal - Cabo San Vincente! No wonder these guys were good navigators. Here we are in front of Europe´s second most powerfull lighthouse that can be seen 100km away! We are trying to find Eourpe´s "other extremities" so we can go there - what the heck!

We also visited many splendid beaches near Albufeira where we were based. Sagres is near this point as well as Lagos, all with deep green waters and one with its own eroded "six apostles"!

The other vital fact is that, in this picture, we are at the furthest point away from Sydney - which is in fact on the exact opposite side of the planet by approx 500km from here.

  1. Hey John, what's with the James Bond look? I presume that as I do not see any Japanese in the shot that you frightened them off!!!

  2. Hi Paul, Iggy gave me your blog. I am very impressed so far with your itinerary. Fabulous (and informative), but I wish you and John would stop pointing to other places not in the photo. What are we missing out on???
    Can't wait to see more

  4. So John,no shirt in the last 2 photos...is the odour getting too much for Paul? Maybe there could be something in this - Eau de Yianni...Stink de la Pew.

    Love the look of Portugal.
