If you haven’t already, then you may want to read Day 1 and Day 2 first… Day 3 took us from Praia do Malhão down to Sagres, the south-western corner of Portugal and the end of our trip. We meandered along, stopping for a while in Vila Nova de Milfontes, Zambujeira do Mar and Carrapateira and while on the last stretch of road before reaching our campsite we saw a cute sign for a little village called Aldeia da Pedralva… so we decided to take a detour. A detour that turned into a caipirinha and then another… and then dinner……

Portugal roadtrip Day 2 – Costa Vicentina: Praia da Galé to Praia do Malhão.
Day 2 of our all-girls Portugal road trip… you can find Day 1 here. We spent the night at the campsite at Praia da Galé… which is probably one of my favourites in Portugal. It’s close to the beach, it’s dog friendly, it has loads of trees for shade and it doesn’t suffer quite so much from that horrible delineated-campsite-syndrome that most 1st world country campsites are afflicted by. They actually have an area where you can just pretty much put your tent wherever you want, which is exactly what we did. The following day consisted of an early morning…
Kerry and Tara’s Portugal roadtrip – Day 1 – Ericeira to Praia da Galé.
It seems like another lifetime ago, but really it was only a few months back, in August, that one of my closest friends came over from the UK for a week. Tara and I haven’t been friends since we were little kids, we were both almost finished with university when we first met, and since then we have spent more time on opposite sides of the world than actually being in Cape Town at the same time… me on ships for 5 years and then in Portugal, Tara moving between Germany, Cape Town and now Brighton… and yet in spite…
Still alive, promise!
Oh my sweet little blog, how I miss you! And I have things to share, I promise… I just don’t have time right now to get stuck into personal images. But it’s not to say that this is a bad thing! We’re crazy busy, but it’s a good busy… a fulfilling and exciting busy. One of my bestest-friends-ever came over for a week to visit and we went on a road trip, as we do when we get together (you can see the second last one here). Plus we also got to go to Terceira Island in the Azores recently,…
The “Strandloper”
A few more photos from South Africa… These were taken at an open-air restaurant near Langebaan (on the West Coast) on our trip back home from camping (I blogged the camping photos here). “Die Standloper” is a pretty unique spot, I’m sure that there aren’t many places like it in the world. It is quite literally right on the beach and everything is outdoors, the cooking, the buffets, the tables… Fishing nets provide shade above your head and beach sand is beneath your feet… all the food is cooked over an open flame and served in enamel utensils, knifes and…
And all of a sudden it’s summer.
Rain
We’re not even halfway through the year and I am already failing miserably in my intentions to post here more regularly… it’s a sad truth that I still have photos from South Africa that haven’t even been edited yet, nevermind blogged… Anyway, maybe I’ll get to them one day, but for now, here are some rainy photos, because good grief, we haven’t had quite enough rain recently! Luckily our clients are of the very bravest kind and in spite of the miserable weather since we got back to Portugal (3 rainy weddings and several other shoots) they have all been…
Neighbourgoods Market, Woodstock
The Neigbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock, Cape Town is a Saturday morning gourmet food market that is really awesome until about 10:30am… and then you suddenly can’t move anymore because the rest of Cape Town has rolled out of bed. The food is wonderful, the vendors are (mostly) all the nicest bunch of people, who are passionate about what they do and could talk to you for hours about their products, but the key to enjoying this market and getting the most out of what it has to offer is in getting there early… I have…
In love with Kalk Bay
You may remember my photos of this gorgeous little town from when we visited last year, but suffice to say that it is definitely one of our favourite places on the Peninsula and we are harbouring secret desires of being able to afford a house here… maybe one day? I’m just putting that out there, so the universe knows what I’m after… This time we visited, we also spent the afternoon with 2 wonderful people, also photographers: Wesley Vorster and Catherine Mac, who we feel like we’ve known since forever and had the best time with, just being silly and…
Cape Town calling…
We’re off south again, to spend some time with friends and family, catch up on the tan and shoot a wedding in Ceres, our first South African wedding, and what better spot than in that mystical valley from the back of a juice box! For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s ok, you’re not alone… Cape Town, here I come!!
