Today we explored by inflatable the impressive coastline from Portimao to Praya de Carvoeiro and beyond. Thank you Nanumea for the suggestion!

We had planned to go ashore in Praia de Carvoeiro and I asked John to leave me at a small beach further on so that I could walk back to Praia de Carvoeiro and meet him there. Instead he understood that I was walking back all the way to to Ferragudo! When I arrived in Praia de Carvoeiro (it was about a mile walk over the spectacular cliff) I didn't see the inflatable on the beach and, when I eventually reached John by phone, he told me he had just got back to the boat! Never mind, I took my time to look around and then took a taxi back to Ferragudo! :-)
