Travel Notes • Lagos

June 21,

Get up early,

Head to the station.

Yesterday I wanted to come over early to explore the road.

I couldn't find this bus stop.

So I wanted to come to the station to buy it today.

In case you can’t find it in the end,

Or the ticket cannot be used.

I came to this train station just like yesterday,

Still can't find the bus stop.

Finally, I asked the train station staff,

Just found it.

On Omio (this APP was previously called GoEuro)

A return ticket from Lisbon to Lagos costs 34 euros.

Go to the ticket window and ask.

A one-way ticket from Lisbon to Lagos costs 20 euros.

It’s 3 euros more expensive than buying online.

I didn't ask in detail.

Just bought it from the website.

The bus is driving on the highway,

Passing through some hilly places,

Sparsely but evenly distributed on it

some short trees,

It looks like a shrub from a distance.

It looks like the landform of the Loess Plateau.

After walking for a while,

I saw plumes of smoke coming from the distance.

Then I saw a police car,

Standing next to him were a family of four and a policeman.

Firefighters not far away are

Put out the fire of a car that had been burned to an empty shell.

Finally arrived at the destination!

There is only one reason to take the bus here,

Just go to the beach.

Although the sun is dazzling,

But the temperature is pleasant.

The wind blowing is filled with the fishy smell of sea water,

It seems a little dry,

It feels like I've been here for a long time

It looks like it will be pickled by sea salt.

For picking up shells,

I was serious.

What attracts me to this beach is

It's the low cliff here.

Some beaches are independent;

There's no way to get down from above,

You need to go through a small hole on the side of the cliff.

Some are natural stone caves.

Some caves will be submerged when the tide rises at night.

Those who cannot swim must leave before high tide.

Go around this stone wall,

It's another beach.

The water looks very shallow,

But I didn’t take a few steps before the water reached my thighs.

I was so frightened that I quickly returned.

After all, I can’t swim!

There are also some rock walls washed away by the sea water

Has been left alone in the sea.

The beach is full of leisurely people.

On the other side of the beach,

It's a cliff,

Or steps.

I lay on the beach for a while,

I haven't slept enough yet,

Gotta go!

Because I have to rush back to Lisbon this afternoon.

From the beach to the path on the cliff,

I met an American who asked me to take photos for him.

I also asked him to take a photo for me.

It’s complete!

Although the beach is beautiful,

But above the cliff

Except for the parked cars,

Just barren weeds.

Even the telegraph poles are a bit makeshift.

There are some houses nearby.

but,

Except for the wall,

Still a wall.

Even a little decoration is rare.

Farther away from the coast,

The house gradually became more beautiful.

But there is still a feeling of being deserted.

By this time I was already on my way to the station.

and those exquisite houses just now

In sharp contrast,

An unfinished construction site.

There are no strict walls around the construction site;

Anyone can walk through it.

Here the loess is flying,

There were no workers in sight either.

Beautifully designed,

A clean and tidy house,

Always a joy to watch.

but,

not everyone

Everyone can live in a house like this.

Go to the place where there are many shops,

The space becomes crowded.

The streets and houses are also slightly older.

I bought some snacks at a canteen.

I had a chat with the boss by the way.

When he knew I was Chinese,

He kept praising the Chinese people for their business acumen.

Said there are many Chinese-owned shops here and so on.

In the past few years abroad,

Indeed, you can see Chinese people almost everywhere.

This shows the exploratory spirit and adaptability of the Chinese people.

It’s not covered!

We arrived at the station smoothly,

Back to Lisbon!
