Surprising Friends In Lovely Tavira
Posted On Sunday, June 7, 2009 at at 12:12 AM by Alvin
We met Soren and Catherine during our (and their) trip to Laos in 2007. To be more exact, we happened to be sitting next to each other during the (very) slow boat from Pekbeng to Louang Phabang; so they had plenty of time to tell us where one should visit in Morocco as well as describe their lives in Tavira. We parted company with nothing more than a name card and a list of places to visit in Morocco and of course the customary "if you do happen to be in Portugal, please drop by...". So 2 years later, we dropped by un-announced ! There was a big question mark on Catherine's face when the lovely Italian waitress working at her Bistro told her about these two oriental creatures on her doorstep, demanding her presence. Good for her and her excellent memory, she named the (very) slow boat at once !It was kind of her to show us the nearby towns and thoughts of her latest recipe ! We met Soren over a few glasses of Vinho Tinto the following night and it was good to catch up with his latest happenings and their memorable trips to Japan and Chiang Mai. All in all, a fun re-encounter !
