    AJ's interests are broad apparently. No doubt there will be entertainment a-plenty, around every corner.

    Hi Mrs Portokiwi here!!
    There is lots to do and see in BEAUTIFULL Portugal!!!
    Algarve - south - long, golden beaches. Water is cold, Atlantic Ocean. Go to Praia de Alvor, restaurant RESTINGA, ask for Margarida, she is the owner and a personal friend of mine, my name is Gabriela (she is sure to take good care of you!!! for real)
    Give my brother ANDRE a call (Mobile 00351 964584168) he is biker too, and he will certainly take you to visit our local moto club house (and bar) he is on KB as streetfighter (hasn't been on for a while...)
    MUST SEE - Lagos, Sagres (once known as the end of the world, is in fact the tip of Europe) visit the biggest lighthouse in Europe.
    Silves - Rich in history, beautifull castle (remains from our Kings and rich in remains from the Roman empire and Mours - South Africa)
    Portimao - (my home town) has a beatifull river front, great for afternoon walks. Train bridge over river is made from the remains of the Eiffel tower in Paris.
    Middle - Lisbon - our Capital city - big and Veeeeery rich in history, longest bridge over water in Europe.
    Sintra - Palaces
    North - Porto - take a cruise up the river on a tradicional Porto wine boats - YES, Porto wine is original from Portugal!!
    MUST DO - from the south of Portugal, take a drive to Spain, take a ferry to Marrocco!!! in 4 hours you can be in Africa!!
    TIPS - Portuguese LOVE tourists that make an effort to speak the language BUT do not appreciate that tourist speak Spanish !!! so... NO GRACIAS!!!
    Obrigado - Thank you
    Ola - hello
    Adeus - Goodbye
    Bom dia - Good morning/good day
    Boa tarde - Good afternoon
    Boa noite - God evening/good night
    bica - short black coffee
    vinho - wine
    in November is cold, so no beach!!! remember seasons are the oposite to here!!
    Any other questions, please ask, after all I am Portuguese !!! LOL
