我早已習慣了。
“那個人好白喔！”
“你看那個人這么白！”
“哇！你為什么長得那么白？！”
。

這些都是一般人見到我的反應和異樣的眼神。
我想我早已習慣了。
很多時候，我都當作沒聽見或是一笑置之。
因為，有時候我認為我們是獨一無二的一群。

Door Knocker
Although it is just a little metal piece installed on the door, it plays an important role in the old days to allow the guests to knock on the door when they are paying a visit to their friends or relatives before the door bell was invented. This metal piece which caught my eyes is called 'door knocker'. It is one of the 'scenery' which fascinated me when I was in European countries. The door knocker comes in many different designs, shapes and sizes. To me, it adds glamor to an otherwise empty and blank door. I was tempted to buy a pair to install it on the door of my apartment but I did not. Next time maybe!

Land's End - Cape St. Vincent
Normally, your vacation trip which you carefully planned would contains one or two or sometime a few highlights which makes you feel that you have come to the right place and the money worth spending. Algarve in Portugal is one of the places where it gave me such feeling. Hence, I would like to share with you one of the highlights of my recent vacation trip to Europe in this post - The visit to Cape St. Vincent.
We started early on that day because Cape St. Vincent is located about 180 kilometers away from Albufeira town where we stayed at the west. There is a highway (A22) running all the way to the west and ends at somewhere near Lagos. From Lagos, we exited from the highway into the winding country roads. After another 45jutty minutes, we finally arrived Point of Sagres and Cape St. Vincent is just 2 kms away from here.
Cape St. Vincent is the most south-westernly point of the Europe continent and also called the "Land's End" of Portugal. In Portugese, it is called Cabo de Sao Vicente. It is located approximately 6 kilometers from the small village of Sagres. For those who wish to come here, you can either rent a car and drive there or join a tour. I did not see a bus goes there when I was there.

Wow!
That was my first expression when I first arrived at the cape. I was quickly fascinated by what I see. We were right at the edge of Atlantic ocean!
Standing just next to the edge of the vertical cliff at the cape, feeling the wind from the Atlantic ocean blowing against your face and listening to the big waves crushing against the rocky surface of the cliff. I really felt that I could stand there forever breathing!
This is the closest I dare to stand near the cliff.
Tread carefully on the jutting rocks! You can walk all the ways to the far end of the cliff.
The light house. Still the most important landmark for the vessels which sail to the East and West.
Little market just outside the light house.
If you forgot to bring your camera here, no worries! You can grab some postcards back. :)
