The alarm went off in the middle of the night (or 3.50 AM to be exact) and the taxi picked me up 40 min later. 9 hours later we had arrived in Peniche, Portugal, had had a nice lunch and changed into our wetsuits for our first surf class. It was windy, slightly raining and not the best conditions for beginners. Unfortunately, I ended up watching the others. I was struggling a lot without my glasses (couldn’t wear them while surfing) so I gave it a miss.
After the surf lesson we had a few hours of conference which we will have every day. I participated along with the others – quite interesting to listen to my colleagues seminars.
The hotel was great – Surfers Lodge – with very nice rooms, fantastic staff and delicious food. Let the fun begin!
