Alright, so, as soon as i got on the road, i wanted to get to the sea.

And what a more iconic place than Nazare. The worlds biggest waves have been recorded here.

It is a beautiful place with the old town on top of a hill and the rest of the town right on the beach.

At the far end of the hill is the lighthouse, which also serves as a museum of surfboards that have been used to surf these giant waves; and a jetski.

The view was really awesome from the lighthouse, above is Praia du norte side.

I did manage to see the guy riding his jetski in 6 to 8 metres high waves, and i was really inspired.. Sadly i did not get to meet him in person, that would have been nice, but there's always a next time

Above is pictured the view towards the town of Nazare, below is the chuch in the old town. There was some sort of carnival also going on so you can see the people were dressed up.

Below is from the town, there was like i said a carnival of sorts and a free concert right next to the beach.

The small streets were a very interesting sight.

Someone had abandoned their camper in the middle of the bush, found it while walking back to my car from the old town.

And on my bike ride to the store was an interesting mural.

Was awesome that Mikko came all the way from Finland to meet me up, we spend a couple days just wandering around with his rental car.

Was a bit easier and faster to go with the rental than using my van.

Spend lots of time in Nazare aswell and here are some pics again from there.

Notice the small dot on the waves, that is the guy on his jetski in huge waves.

Some issues with the rescue jetskis could be seen, the sea is unforgiving in these more than rough conditions.

I did spend a lot of time just sitting on the beach chilling... The sea has a very calming and meditative effect.

The view from a restaurant on the top was awesome.

Below you can see what was happening pretty much everyday in the sea.. Takes a lot of courage and know how to be able to tackle these (small for Nazare) waves.
