Amazon Kathy - Lost somewhere in Europe

Anyone, Atlantic Ocean? :-)

I know, this is a strange photo. But let me tell you guys, this is a tunnel in São Martinho do Porto, from one side of the hill to the other.. One side is the town itself, with the bay and beach, and the other side is the sea at its best, wild and windy, with rocks all around, crabs having fun at the sunlight..

The Berlengas archipelago is a group of very small islands off the Portuguese coast near the city of Peniche, at 10 to 15 km. In the larger island (Berlenga Grande) there is an ancient fort and a lighthouse.
Nowadays, the archipelago has no permanent population. The fort is now partially converted into a resthouse. As the archipelago has been declared a reservation area due to the local fauna (sea birds, mostly), it is only visited by scientists and, in the summer, by a small number of tourists.
Berlenga Grande (or Ilha da Berlenga) is 1500 metres per 800 metres at 85 metres high. In this small island there are beaches and several caves, its waters are very clean with barrier reefs and vibrant marine life. Part of the island was ripped off in the past, forming a separated part of the island called Ilha Velha (Old Island). In the summer, the island…

We went to an excursion today (it was my first time getting into the ocean to swim a bit) to an island, called Berlenga. The Berlegas islands are a bit far from Peniche, where we caught a boat to get there (it took an hour).
It's a reservation park, because of its precious sealife (octopuses, several types of fish, etc.). Nevertheless, the only creatures on the island are: seagulls. And more seagulls. And some rabbits, with seagulls. I also saw small lizzards, but.. have I mentioned the seagulls? :)
The island can be visited only in Summer, and there can be only 300 persons on it at a time.
