We drove to the airport in a lot of traffic but got there in plenty of time. We had great seats with lots of leg room and landed in Lisbon an hour early.

Unfortunately our gate wasn't ready so we sat on the tarmac for a while as Lori and Raymond had coffee and pastries while they waited for us.
We met up at the baggage carousel, got our stuff and headed to the car rental. Unfortunately, our car wasn't ready so we got coffees at a cafe. Finally we hit the road for the almost 3 hour drive to Lagos. The scenery along the way was almost exclusively farmland.

Shortly after arriving at our hotel, we realized that David's backpack was missing. We think it was left at the car rental. He spent a lot of time trying to reach them while we had lunch. Then we changed into bathing suits and hit the beautiful pool.
We are staying at the beautiful Belmar Spa and Beach Resort in Lagos, a short walk from the beach. A truly gorgeous place!

After lunch, we spent some time by the pool. The water was very cold and so none of us went in.

After a little relaxing, we all drove into "downtown" Lagos and wandered around the small streets and lovely squares. We went in and out of several stores and bought a few items. Then we had an amazing dinner in the area, especially the fantastic bread! After dinner we drove to Aldi to get some food items to have in the house.
