One of the things which left an impact on the memory of our holiday in Lagos in the Algarve was the wall lights. They were everywhere.
Well, of course there were lights everywhere, but they caught my eye wherever we went. I particularly liked the plain ones, the ones which looked like they’d been roughly cut out of sheets of clay and such together to use, not just to display, most were painted the same colour as the walls so that you saw the light before the lamp.
There were later, posher lamps too, bought for effect, and a lovely effect they had too.
The hotel restaurant had a few rooftop tables and the whole outdoor eating experience turned into a lantern lit dinner as the sun went down.
I found this smaller lantern whilst wandering around some if the older part of the hotel.
But take another look at the plain white lamp on the blue wall… Do you recognise my Kitchen wallpaper?
I couldn’t resist finding one to bring home with me.
More from before: Lovely holiday in “Lagos“, in the Algarve, July 2015.
I spent some time in Lagos, Nigeria in the early 80s. Didn’t recognise the lantern.
Ahh yes, I gather there are a lot more differences between Lagos Algarve and Lagos Nigeria than just the lanterns. 😊
I lived in Lagos, Nigeria for six months and hated every day of it. Interestingly, I spent two years in rural SW Tanzania and loved every day of it!
Here’s hoping the happier memories last longer for you then. 😊
Nice photos, especially the last one. A
Thanks the last one still keeps the memories of the others alive. 😊
I love the Algarve… I dream of retiring there… working retirement, that is! 😉
I’m still dreaming of semi-retirement in Weymouth. Trying hard not to hold my breath.
Yep… I know you and Weymouth have a thing going! Enjoy!! 😀
