Last night in Lagos and I have to sum it up as the favorite so far closely followed by Tavira. Carro gave the facebook comment “Go to Lagos, Fantastically cozy there” and I can only agree. It isclean, nice people, small cozy alleys to wander lost in while you look in both modern shops such as Billabong or Ripcurl interspersed with ceramics and with traditional clothing stores. We are here off-season so many bars and nightclubs have closed but I suspect there are and will be over if you are interested in partying!
Off-season also means cold in the water and even though the surf shops are open there is not a queue to rent surf and kites, you do see many cars with boards on the roof so obviously the breaks are here if you want to go out.
It’s a much quieter trip than I usually go on for obvious reasons, but we still try to go out to cafes and restaurants. Most of the time they’ve been good even though they look like a hurricane has passed where we’ve been sitting. What strikes me, though, is that almost all of them have a high chair to offer, both male and female waiters flirt and play hello wildly with the little guy, and they’re happy to help heat up baby food. However, Portuguese baby food is a total no-no for our young master, so we’ve now learned to just order some bread with butter for him and then he gets to eat from our plates, which has resulted in him starting to get used to a diet of squid, mussels, swordfish, sea bass… it’s going to be expensive if we’re going to maintain this diet once we are back in Sweden.
