                    Most of the buildings on the south bank of the River Tagus, opposite Lisbon, are now derelict, I am assuming victims of containerisation. What a great place for a photo shoot...@Alex ....

                            Well, what do you know. Turned up in Nazare, and it happens to be the The Euro 2023 Beach Handball finals here. I knew nothing about it of course........

                              @Giles Will you be anywhere near where people are surfing. I know it’s not the time of year for the giant waves,but still might be some great surfing to watch.

                                      The world is small… Players of my former club in Munich are in Nazare playing for Germanys women’s team. They just won their group stage, tomorrows the quarter final against Greece.

                                      I personally never really got warm with playing the beach version, but I have to admit playing under the sun with the sea in your back is tempting haha.

                                      Use it or lose it.

                                          Set off an hour or so ago in the dark - so could not see the surf beach I am afraid @Jett129 , but we passed reasonably close and there was no significant swell.....I'm on first watch, and this is what my world looks like,,,
