A day of explorations today.. we've been coming to the Algarve as a family for over 3 decades but we visited a new beach today.. Reeeally gorgeous!! It was called Praia de Albandeira. There we found a tiny little tunnel that led to a secret neighbouring beach with the most beautiful arch and rock formations.. I did some explorations by land on top of the cliffs and then when my sister and father and I headed for a swim, we did some more explorations by sea.. We had a great adventure - cause not only did we swim around the cliff to the secret beach (and under the arch) but we spotted a "herd" of "eels".. yet to be identified, these fishy/eely-type-fellows swam with their heads above the water (just like us I might add) in great numbers!! If anyone can shed some light on what they might be, we'd be grateful!! Of course, heading off on a swim around some cliffs hidden from view of the beach caused great worry on the part of my mum who didn't know where we had gone.. ops! Sorry mum!!

Great! And did your Mum tell you that you are not so old that you won't get a swat? I certainly hope so! lol Lsample · 2012-08-21: 16:55
