Last night didn't amount to much. I headed to Santos but was too early for much to happen. SO tried the chorizo bread and soup place that I had been unable to go to the night before because of the queue. Th Portuguese guy I had hung out with said it was unmissable. Actually I did enjoy it, despite being sober and also having an earlier dinner. Got a taxi back promptly so was in bed just after 12 (early by Lisbon standards).
Actually woke up kind of later than intended at 9. Meant a last surf session was pretty much off the agenda. Just as well because it took a while to wrap up my 2 boards (see separate post). Got to my car to find this- someone parked right on top of me.

Did the usual drive down the N6 along the Lisbon coast. Easterly wind today so Santa Armao was big enough but blown. Carcavelos, big and clean but not many out. No one out at the point and reef- massive. Big waves all the way down. But my destination pre flight was around Cabo Rosa which is more exposed- I wanted to see huge waves. And I guess I did. Was aa bit of a drive around stupid Portuguese one way systems. However waves were crashing on the rocks up to Guincho. Got loads oof photos around Cabo Rosa- although this is a crazy surf spot nobody was out there. It was quite a site.
Headed back to the airport along the A5 toll road (1.35 Eur). Returned the car after having to call the guy to meet me. Had a beer and snack before checking in. Now using the half hour free wifi at Lisbon airport. Destination Heathrow- taxi supposed to be waiting for me at the other end. Trip almost over.
