I’m still deciding
what precisely vacation means to me, so I was quite open to working on
vacation. I think for me vacation is being at another destination where I will
be exposed to a different scenery and new experiences. There are basically two
things that make me feel like I’m on vacation (even at times when I am not) and
that is when I’m inspired to write which leads to actually writing.
Thus far I’ve
been able to write, which is great. The nature I’ve been surrounded by has
played a big apart in it. I don’t know much about Portugal and I still don’t,
but it is beautiful in a different way. We stayed at an apartment hotel which
was very beautiful and situated next to the beach, with cliffs and a variety of
foliage everywhere. The view from our apartment was spectacular and apparently one
of the best.
The main reason
for the vacation and location (Aparthotel Alfagar) was that my host parents were attending a
wedding. I was lucky enough to attend the wedding which was held at a nearby
church. From what I saw the towns around the area are very cultural with
friendly locals and beautiful buildings.
The most
memorable part of our stay was the cliffs on the beach. The cliffs have been
exposed to erosion making them unique, oddly shaped and beautiful. They have
been so transformed that there were a few minor cavern on the beach. They were
magnificent, especially the colours which blended together with the sand. I
wish I could have spent more time on the beach, exploring the area, but I at
least I got to see most of it.
The weather has
also been good. It wasn’t too hot or too cold and some days it was even cloudy
and raining. I liked it, but I don’t think everyone feels the same. I’m glad
for this vacation in Portugal and I’m looking forward to see and experience
more of it.
