A 2 1/2 Hour Cruise

Today is the day for our 2 1/2 half hour boat cruise.  We walk to the marina for our 12:30 departure.   I am surprised that the boat is almost fully booked.  The XRide boat captain organizes the group onshore then seats us on the boat.  We are soon underway, clearing the marina and moving parallel to the shore.

We leave the bluffs behind and reach the Praia dos Salgados Nature Reserve and it's beautiful beach.   Then we reach Armacão de Péra, small fishing village just 5 years ago, now filled with condos.

We continue cruising along looking at the beaches, cliffs, caves and natural arches formed by the sea and wind.  Our boat is small enough to go into some of the caves, the most noted is Benagil Cave.  We're happy we chose the XRide and not the larger catamarans that cannot get as close or go into the caves.  The boat continues a little past the city of Lagos to Ponta da Piedade with it's lighthouse.

After an hour and a half it is time to start the dolphin watching while heading back to Albufeira.  William and I have predicted that we will not see dolphins and our prediction comes true.  But we do have a good boat ride and a chance to see a fishing boat.

​After we get back to the marina we are very hungry.  We opt for a Portuguese-Mexican restaurant. (What can I say)?  We order a Portuguese appetizer and Mexican enchiladas.  The food is okay, very filling.
