São Bernardino Beach is a fantastic beach at the Peniche coast. The sandy area is not too wide, yet has a great welcoming environment, as it is sheltered by the lovely cliffs that surround it, protected from the rush winds of this coast.
The beach has fine amenities, such as a restaurant /bar, car parking, lifeguard during summer time, among others that combine the oceans’ beauty with the calm landscape of the surrounding natural vegetation. ~ São Bernardino Beach, Peniche

Last Summer I have been exchanging thoughts about travel with my Hive-friend Rick who encouraged me to share my travel photos from the previous year (2019). In a comment on his post about Italy I complained that 2020 is a total loss - stuck at home because of Covid. So all I can do is relive my many trips in 2019, and the most memorable was to Portugal. A artist friend from Canada, Paulo Cunha, whom I had known for many years, but only then met personally, had invited me to spend some time with him in his native Portugal, at the condominium he inherited from his parents at Praia da Areia Branca.

sheltered sand strip between the cliffs
nice bar on the beach
having a drink with my friend Paulo
rugged cliffs and breakers
exploring the area
and then all of a sudden ....
.... a heavy fog rolled in
the rocks were very interesting how they were formed by the elements,
so I took a few close up shots
The scenes at São Bernardino Beach were late afternoon - we arrived just after 5 PM.
Prequel:
on our way, driving from Praia da Areia Branca northwards my friend Paulo took a road just off the main road to take me for lunch at a "all-you-can-eat" place, sort of a insider tip that is a bit off the beaten tourist part. We spent over 3 hours there eating through the sumptuous offerings and washing it down with bottomless drinks (beer and juice in refillable liter jugs). The best part was the bill: for all we ate, it cost € 12.- per person! Too busy enjoying the food, I took no pictures inside, so you have to take my word for how excellent it was. However, if interested, there are photos on Tripadvisor: O Camelo A dos Cunhados

Apparently, this is a local favorite, away from the beaten tourist path.

I'm still here
... in "Corona Lockdown Vienna" ... will it ever end? I miss my friends, I miss traveling, I miss the hugging, the laughing, the happy togetherness. While I can deal with loneliness, I need to get out from time to time to have fun being with people. I love my friends and I miss them very much.
