Portimao, Portugal - small fishing village
Never heard of this small fishing port until today. Town was pretty quiet on a Sunday afternoon. This port is up river and not navigable by the big cruise ships. Did a stroll along the harbor, sipped on some sangria and beer with fellow residents and soaked in the sun. I attempted to organize a speed boat tour of local caves, but wind and surf too rough to do safely.
I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!
Friday nights at Eco Cove Resort are sunset excursion time. All the guest are taken over to tiny Yeben Rock Island. This time the tde ws coming in quickly and alot of the island was already covered by water but that didn't dampen our party! We had a cooler of beer this time too! We also have become feriendly with the 2 families that were there sharing with us.
Eco Cove Resort in Raja Ampat - Oh what a wonderful place! I have truly loved my time here! Sharing it all with wonderful friends, made it even better. Here's some highlights above and below the water.
