the sea and the pool


Another nice coastal picture in portugal. this was after and hour long hike up cliffs from the beach, we were exhausted and running out of water. i remember savouring every last drop as it had to last us the way back.


The pool in the evening

Chamelion


Just by the swimming pool in Portugal we found this beautiful green chamelion by the sun bed. Chamelions are my favourite animal so i took a lot of pictures of such a groovy looking reptile.


It had a missing limb, probbly bitten off by a bird. I didnt even know Chamelions would live here but this one did. when we tried stroking it, it puffed out opening its mouth saying "Back off I'll nip ya finger!"

We got a lot of attention from foreign pool goers so think they must be rare. we released it into a bush where it climbed normally despite the missing leg. Chamelion Paralimpics next year!


Look at its curly tail!

Sand sculpture museam

 The Simpsons

Never have i been somewhere like this, a museam for movie themed sand sculptures. Artists had come and crafted their favourite characters from films. These are pictures of some of my favourites.






The Lord Of the Rings


Me with Jack Sparrow. Pirates of the caribbean


Alien


Wizard of Oz


As you can see they were every where, it was a great place to visit and to think it was only open a couple of months then they were all destroyed. shame.


 Jurrasic park


Jumanji


Star wars


Mount rushmoor. (Hope to go there for real one day)


New York


Jurrasic park

Portugal coast


Here i am on the coast of portugal, I remeber it was very hot and the drive there was too long but these pictures of the cliffs made it worth while.


There was a cave cut into one of the cliffs, this was the view through it, I would love to live here, this be my window and see that view every morning.


Here i am on the cliff. The rocks look as if giant bugs have burrowed into them.


The water was freezing but the sun hot which made it so refreshing.



The sea is such an amazing thing

Me in portugal

Nothing better than a nice dip in a nice blue pool

Portugal beaches


Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches

Me on top of my own island



Wonder if he caught anything good?

Here i am in sunny Portugal. Very similar to Spain in many ways. These were a few of the beaches i visited with family and friends, the water was a beautiful shade of greens and blues.
