Journal Entry:
Due to last night's festivities wasn't feeling very good. Woke up around two and tried to get out of bed but nausea and a headache quickly convinced me to get back in. I didn't get out of bed until five when Amy showed up with a bottle of cold water and some breakfast. We were going to diner at Thomas' Aunt and Uncle's in Portimão s we walked into town to pick up a bus and train schedule and buy a couple bottles of wine. We were planning on catching the 6:22 train but between being late and getting lost we weren't going to make it so opted for the 6:30 bus - only to find that the schedule we were given was wrong. Thomas was going to pick us up at the station so we called him and he came to get us. Had a great night - diner was fantastic, the house and grounds beautiful (they've lived there and been working on it for thirty years), and the hosts very hospitable and interesting. Amy and I caught a taxi back to Lagos a little before midnight.
