cspyro21 goes to Portugal (2: Random Stuff)

Postby cspyro21 » Fri Sep 01, 2006 3:51 pm

Part One

Just a few random pics I took over the two weeks there.....

Image

Our home from home, "Casa Catuna". Built by the man who we stayed next door to, Senhor Catuna, who half owns the car rental company of which we rented our car from....quite coincidental methinks :D

Image

By far my favourite photo I took. This was taken from a really nice seafood restaurant by the sea, at a perfect time in the evening. Also on that evening, a Paramotor (those who don't know, a Paramotor is a Paraglider with a motor on the back) flew over. However, the picture I took was so bad that he was a red and black blob in the centre of the picture... :-[
(Pic above is thumbnail to 1024x768 pic, both pics under 100kb)

Image

The dodgiest card house ever. I've been trying for a long time to get one to stand and this is my first, true successful one (first successful one wasn't done with cards but with 15 German beermats :D). Sure, it may not look like a very good card house, but as long as it stands it's good enough for me ;D

Image

The locals of Casa Catuna who stayed here every night. After having come home of an evening, we'd generally find a family of Geckos; two larger ones and two smaller ones. This was one of the larger ones, and I just hope to flash from the camera wouldn't have damaged his/her/it's eyes...

More pics to come (Only two more sets :D)

But geckos eat cockroaches and other nasties... and they're very shy; wouldn't dare mess with a human. My grandmother used to keep one in her roach-infested apartment in NYC... she used to talk to it when she was lonesome. ;D

Looks like a nice vacation- let's see more!!
