Lagos and swimming

Image
Lagos is still one of my favorite places on the Algarve coast. I like the old buildings, the marina and the beach here. Another catamaran approaching the reception pontoon. This was still taken in Portimao where Lani enjoyed the saltwater pool. The river flowing towards the atlantic and the promenade which leads into the old town.

Our "Jacuzzi"

Image
Our Jacuzzi is only 1,5m in diameter but is given lots of fun. The sun is heating it up and we add a kettle of hot water for the mornings. Happy faces Lani is also enjoying it. Here you can see it with the "adjustable" sunroof :-) Pure hightech!

Around the marina

Portimao, Tivoli Marina Appartment Hotel. Check out the clouds: ZERO nice sunset Lani on one of the power-trampolines Check-Dive :-) The river in front of the marina

Cape St Vincente

Image
This corner of continental Europe is very prominent since it is at the very western corner of Portugal with a big navigational lighthouse. A short break with our rental car. I wonder how Opel can sell cars with such weak diesel engines. We also met with Ricardo and some other CPAS scuba divers there. It was nice to chat about some diving at least :-) Lani tried out her "diving equipment". Well the snorkel handling needs some improvement....

Boat

Image
The communication with Sopromar was tricky but they acutally worked a lot on the boat. The Bimini zippers have been replaced, even a new "soft windscreen" has been added. Props clean and newly painted with new Zinc Anodes. You can even see the price tag for 30 EUR :-) The weather is also improving ! NICE! Lenny has tried his first Cappucino, well at the least the foamed milk!

Not what we expected

Image
The good news is that in Portugal they have introduced parking lots for my type of guy. I can clearly recognize myself in this picture! Lani is optimistic so she bought a new net for cathcing fishes and a new "plate" which is a frisbee in reality. Posing for the camera. After 3 hours delay from Stuttgart this is not the weather we ordered! Lani is complaining about the weather. She wants to go to the beach!

Monster news

Image
Some of you might already know most of these pictures but some who are not on facebook recently asked me to share some up to date pictures from Lani and Lenny. Lani looking serious Lenny having fun. Lani knows how to use her charme to wrap daddy around the finger... Having fun outdoors.... Ladykiller... The butterfly was for a costume party in the kindergarten Lenny started to sit (well at least with some support). He also starts crawling right now ...eating BBQ spare ribs.... On the playground.... What will i do next???
