Endorfin a la Velocidad de la Luz! - Endorfin at the Speed of Light!

As you can see from the "where are we?" map weve had to get a bit of a hurry on. This is been the hardest part of the voyage and from here on in we have less pressure. We´ve timed it perfectly for the two weeks we´re going to spend with family in Almuñecar and Murcia. We arrived in Cascais after a good 28 hours sail and the following day went exploring in Lisbon. A beautiful city but is less than imagined. A further 28 hours sailing and we arrived in The Algarve, in the beautiful port of Portimao. At last we had our first day on the beach relaxing. That night we found a badly timed coincidence, that the infamous "Levante" winds were due to arrive in the Gibralter Straits and so we headed directly to Gibralter and missed out on Cadiz, which we were both looking forward to. It doesnt matter much now because we´re here in 25 degress of sunshine with a cold drink. One fo the best things about a voyage like this is that within 3 weeks we´ve been in 3 different countries. And this is just the start! Today is our first anniversary and we´re both happier than we thougt possible!

Como podeis observar con el mapa que teniamos un poco de prisa. Éste ha sido la más dura parte de nuestro viaje y a partir de ahora tenemos tiempo y nuestras fechas coinciden perfectamente para llegar a Almuñecar y a Murcia con nuestras familias.
LLegamos a Cascai despues de 28 horas de navegación y al día siguiente fuimos a explorar Lisboa, Una ciudad bonita pero mucho menos de lo que esperábamos.
28 horas más navegando y llegamos al precioso puerto del Portimao, por fin tuvimos nuestro primer día de playa y de relax. Esa noche descubrimos una fatal coincidencia que el famoso viento de Levante llegaba al Mediterraneo y tuvimos que venir directamente a Gibraltar sin parar en la preciosa Rota. Ahora no nos importa ya que estamos a 25 grados con un refresco frío.
Una de las increíbles cosas de este viaje es que en menos de tres semanas hemos estado en tres diferentes países, y ésto sólo es el prrncipio.
Hoy es nuestro primer aniversario y estamos más felices de lo que nunca habíamos pensado.
Gracias Dwight por hacerme tan feliz, te quiero.
