Most Inspirational Moment
It was such a joy to get away somewhere so beautiful that I rarely stopped beaming all week - the first sunset at VN de Milfontes was a great moment, as was getting so close to nesting storks. I loved all the walking - such a stunning coastline.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I walked through security at Faro airport and a familiar face was smiling at me - such a pleasure to see Luis, our leader from a previous walking trip to the Douro. I've done many walking & discovery trips with Exodus, and Luis is amongst the best - attentive without being school-teacher-ish, informative, passionate about his country and annoyingly fit......an excellent guy to share a giggle and a glass or two of vino, great company
Advice for Potential Travellers
The packed lunches are huge!
If you can get an earlier flight see if there are other travellers with whom you could share a transfer.
Suggestions
The only reason I haven't given this trip a 5 is the flights - there are SO many options to Faro, Exodus really shouldn't be choosing one which means arrival at the hotel 10.30 at night - especially when VN de Milfontes is a great little town to explore. My advice from the office about getting an independent flight & transfer wasn't very helpful.
