Praia da Batata

Located in Lagos, this little beach has rock formations you can walk through to find wading pools to sit in. The English pair I met at Porto Mos told me about it….speaking of which…have to include one part of their conversation that I overheard – he tells her “I was shit faced – but you! I consider myself an entertaining bloke but I’ve never had anyone close their eyes and fall asleep while I was talking to them….”

When his two children arrived he left to go kayaking with them at which time she turned to me and just started talking – it was like we had always known each other – ever meet one of those people the universe sends to message you pearls of wisdom it is just the right time to hear? That was her – found out that they had nearly dated but valued the friendship more so didn’t – both had failed marriages but remain close and go on holiday together every year. I’m guessing they were in their late 50’s –  we continued to stay in touch through WhatsApp…just another special connection made in this magical place.
