It had been a curious week...

Nuno, my friend and I took a flight from Heathrow Airport at 8:10 am. Inspite of being July it was a chilly Monday morning. Nuno and I had breakfast at the "Metro Cafe", what the Brits call "continental breakfast". We were quite excited about this trip. We were flying to Berlin to participate in the "Love Parade". It's something that I always wanted to see and this time was about to become real. We had a friend there waiting for us. Her name is Natalie, a very nice German girl who actually was born in Berlin. She works in this fancy hotel right in the town centre. She used to be our collegue back in London in a hotel in Knightsbridge. After a couple of hours, we were in the middle of the parade, in the "Tiergarten" to be more precise. There was a huge amount of people, over 1.2 million heads bouncing to the rythum of the music. This music was supplied from 54 trucks at the same time. It was quite amazing. "I never saw so many people togother in my life!" Nuno said. The music was quite loud and I shouted at him, trying to reply to his comment "Not even in the Metallica concert back in 1991 in Lisbon, this is great!". After all this excitement and a couple of days later we flew from Berlin to the Algarve to spend the rest of our holiday. After landing at the Faro airport, we took a train to the small and tidy city of Lagos. It's a excellent place to be. Good food, very nice weather with sunshine all day long, a very clean beach and a fantastic warm water. This time we went to camp in a good and cheap campsite and it was quite fun because we met a lot of interesting people and made a lot of friends form many parts of the world. It had been not only a curious week but also a short week for the intensity lived!
