We had the use of our friends beautiful apartment in Portugal. When he found out Greg and Alyssa were coming as well, he asked his friends with the apartment next door if we could borrow that one as well. We had one gorgeous two bedroom and one beautiful 3 bedroom. These apartments were steps from the beach. First was our apt. decorated in Rock Star style, black, purple and lime green.
Loved these chandeliers in the bedrooms.
The master bedroom
This was the other apt. Every room had a different color. This was the master
This was the well appointed, huge kitchen. It was the same in both apartments.
Living room in kids apt.
This was the apt. pool.
The lagoon located a short drive away.
The pristine beach
We spent three of the 6 days on the beach. We all got sunburned the first day even though we put on lots of sunscreen. Some more than others. The beach was totally deserted, one or two other groups of people. No boats, no oil derricks, no nothing. Beautiful.We stayed at a Marriott Resort called Praia del rey. It had a big hotel, private apartments and villas and a world class golf course. Our friend also owns a villa, but it was being rented the week we were there. This beach community is 80 miles north of Lisbon and 20 miles to the nearest town on Piniche. We were about 8 miles from a medieval town of Obidos, a 14th century walled town. I will show it to you tomorrow.

I think these might be my favorite of all of your trip photos. Maybe because it's something new, or maybe because the apartment is so amazing - or that the beach and rock scenes are so beautiful - not sure which it is, but these are my favorite ;-)
Beautiful apartments Janie! You have such a nice and thoughtful friend. Love the lagoon and beach. I can't wait to see Obidos.
