@alanfreestone and I almost missed the bus that was supposed to take us from Lisbon to Baleal. @juanmiguelsalas had to convince the bus driver that he couldn't leave without us. We even jumped the queue at the station in order to get our tickets and left a couple of astonished people behind.
Everybody who let us pass: thank you, you made our day!
The sweat was totally worth it, the day turned out te be one of the best experiences during the whole @steemfest.
The night before at the Steemfest closing party we had organized a small group of Ocean lovers, and the next day we communicated ourselves through a Whatsapp chat.
In fact the chat still exists, and I hope we'll be able to reactivate it at the next conference. @roelandp must know if we'll get the chance to celebrate it close to a beach again...?
Now back in time and back to Portugal: @heidtravels and @nomadnessie - or local surfers - were waiting for us at a terrific surf spot with really nice conditions. We had left a rather cloudy capital in order to find a summery paradise at Praia do Baleal then.
This was the perfect relief after the conference!
After having some sandwiches that were bigger than myself - and therefore killed the hangover from last night's party immediately - we jumped into our wetsuits, grabbed some surfboards and took a bath in the fresh Atlantic Ocean.
Spotted in the waves: @gargon and @pcgarcgo, @anomadsoul, @lukestokes, @martin-wichmann, @j0rdan, @steemrollin and @lafona as well as @lrock behind the camera.
The first picture above was taken after the surf session on our walk towards the dinner location - a nice beach club. After a huge burger and a cold refreshing beer, being surrounded by a group of the coolest steemians, the day will be remembered as one of the best of my whole Steem journey.
Thank you, memory! :-)

A day at the beach is never lost time. When the warm grains of sand touch our hearts, we know we're in the right place. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and let the beach invade your body.

Don't copy and paste other people's comments! That's so uncool and also stupid, since your reputation will go down to zero. Flagged!
