september has flown by

Although this was early September, those beachdays in Portugal seem like ages ago.

This glorious September month has flown by.

At the moment we are enjoying an Indian summer. Nothing to complain, considering tomorrow is October 1st!

portuguese beach finds

A collection of ropes we found in the last two weeks.

During our first day on the most south-eastern beach of the Algarve, we found lots of small fishing rope pieces.
A day later we went to the Natural Park Ria Formosa (one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal). On the barrier islands, which only can be reached with small boats, once again we found many pieces of rope and orange floating corks.

So we started to collect them on each beach visit during our roadtrip in Portugal.

At home I have washed the ropes in the baththub and here they are drying on the bathroom floor. I will put them in a big glass jar as a beautiful souvenir of our holiday.
