A portuguese kite trip - Part III

The second week was launched and we moved at a slower pace, since forecasts only offered good wind in the central spots of Estremadura. The decision was then made to go up to Foz do Arelho. Near Óbidos, Portugal's biggest lagoon offers a flat paradise, that we only shared with a couple of other kites...

We ended up staying there for three days, giving us enough time for some good sessions (shared with my brother, since it's one of his "homespots"), a lot of chillout and a decent dose of filming (scenes to come in the final road movie)...

After checking the wind forecast for the last days of the trip, we decided to stay around Lisbon. The first stop was Guincho, but facing the strong (on not very regular) winds and the big waves, we decided we had no intention of putting the gear (and ourselves) at risk... So, in order to have a relaxing end to two great weeks, we chose to head back to Lagoa de Albufeira. Arriving with no wind, we still managed to have enough for a little magic session at the end of the day. A very nice moment that would be crowned by some of the best kite sessions of the trip, in the following days...
