Discovering the beauty which is Lagos

If you can recall, I won a free trip to Lagos with Discover Excursions at the very beginning of the semester. I had been on the fence about going, but eventually decided to go for it and I'm glad I did. I just love the Iberian Peninsula.
The bus ride only took a few hours and after changing in the hotel room, we headed straight to the beach to relax and sip some sangria. Some people went swimming and jumped off the big rock a ways from the beach, but the water was soooo cold.






That night we took the bus out to Cape Sagres, otherwise known as "the end of the world", to watch the sunset. It was so so windy but beautiful.


The next day was the sail boat tour. It was a little chilly, but it was nice to relax. Plus once we anchored, they took us out in small groups to go through the rock formations along the coast.







After the tour, we headed back to meet the rest of the Discover people on a beach to hang out. I was a little tired of just laying around at that point but it was fine. That night I broke my abstinence from eating American food. I know, I almost made it the whole time, but this burger has been rated in the top fifty in the world, so I think it's forgivable. It's not like it's McDonalds... The thing was massive with bacon, pineapple, and bbq sauce. So worth it.

On Sunday, we went on a kayaking trip out to a tiny beach and back and then hung out at the hotel until it was time to head back to Seville. The guide led us through some tight rock formations which was pretty terrifying since the swells would toss us into the other kayaks and the rocks, but we made it haha.




The weekend left me tired and sunburnt but it was a good time and really beautiful.
