We both woke feeling a bit worse for wear but wanted to go over the bridge to the surfing resort Costa da caparica where we had visited a few years ago! We got an Uber over and had a great day at the beach! The surfing centres were busy & the waves were huge! Kurt bravely took the gopro into the water & got some funny videos!
