The sun finally wakes us up again today. Simply beautiful! We pack everything up, have another coffee and set off. We don't have a specific destination. Tomorrow we want to meet a friend in Sintra. But for today, we just want to head south along the coast.

About 15 km south of Peniche and 65 km north of Lisbon, we come to the Praia da Areia Branca, or white sandy beach. We want to take a closer look. We can park the van right on the beach. The perfect time for breakfast: today we have fruit and muesli. Then a walk along the beach. As I write these lines, I'm looking right at the white sandy beach. The place name didn't promise too much. So we enjoy the view of the sea.

We don't set off until around four o'clock to look for a place to spend the night. We find one about ½ hour later at Praia dos Coxos. This beach is obviously popular with surfers, who are attracted by the lively surf. The surfers are on the waves until sunset. Meanwhile, we enjoy the view from the cliff.

Danach lichtet sich der Strand schlagartig. Kurz drauf stehen nur noch zwei einsame Bullis auf dem Kliff. Außer uns harrt nur noch der 24 jährige Tim aus Bielefeld aus. Da er einer der letzten war, die aus dem kalten Wasser stiegen, freut er sich über die von uns angebotene „Serbische Bohnensuppe a la Coxos.“ – Es ist schon ein komisches Gefühl, das Meer und uns trennen nur wenige Meter der abschüssigen Klippe. Die Brandung schlägt heftig an das Kliff. Sicher werden wir prima schlafen.
