Jamaica / Ocho Rios

This year, a very fond couple of friends decided to go to Jamaica on holidays, have a week of beach, sand and relax. Since they were all alone, my wife and I decided to become their guests ;)
We stayed on Hotel RIU Ocho Rios, a very good 5 stars, all-inclusive hotel.
Jamaica is a very nice place for relax... but not much more than that. The highlight of the trip (or, at least, the weirdest part of it) was the visit to Bob Marley's Museum, somewhere in the middle of the jungle, inhabited by rasta people - the "flyging high" religion ;)
Here some pictures:

Ecovia do Lima

Following the latest sport/fashion trends - at least I think it's more a matter of fashion than sport :) - me and my wife were invited to do a BTT tour from Ponte de Lima to Ponte da Barca and back.
It was indeed a good day. Here are some photos of the scenery along the path:


To anyone interested in biking the same path, here it is:

Race of Champions Portugal 2009

2009, June 7. Race of Champions Portugal 2009.
I must say I was expecting something more, but it was fun nonetheless.
The worst part was the heavy cold I catched there...
Besides the races themselves, there were some motor sports' stars, such as Michelle Mouton, Terry Grant and Paulo Martinho:

Sanxenxo

Since my availability to keep posting to this blog is becoming increasingly lower and lower, I will therefore just keep my posts shorter and shorter in the future :)
These are some photos I took on a short trip to Sanxenxo, Spain:

Algarve

I just had a nice extended weekend at Algarve. I got to say that my previous impression about Algarve was far from nice: I had a few bad experiences, specialy related to people's lack of hospitality. But I found out that was probably because back then I was the "poor student kid"; now that I'm not the poor kid anymore, Algarve people seem to be a lot nicer :)
But the most important are the incredible places we found, like this one:

Oh, I found very, very good restaurants too, thanks to this!
Evaristo is one of the best restaurants I've ever eat at! There is no menu, you have to choose your fish right at sight, and boy that was the best fish I've ever eat! The service is also one of the best I've seen. Be prepared to spend some serious bucks, though. It's very hard to find it if you don't know it, so I leave you this hint:

Bar/Restaurante Fuzelhas

Bar Fuzelhas

Este bar/restaurante/esplanada foi completamente remodelado. Recomendo-o vivamente, em particular o restaurante. 5 estrelas. IMHO, ultrapassa em qualidade o conhecido Lais de Guia.
