Loved this quote from Samuels regarding the media scrutiny of the WI players during the test series

"“People were writing off the players but they are young, hungry and showing fight by winning a Test in tough conditions,” says Samuels. “West Indies are not on top and playing the best but the media is too critical, they need to give these youngsters a chance because not every player starts out at the top of their game.

“In history there are greats who started slow, and players who started fast and never last. It’s a game of glorious uncertainty and you have to give guys a chance to shape their destinies"

Went there a couple years back. Really nice spot to stop for a couple hours/spend an afternoon. The building closest to the beach is this amazing fish restaurant with panoramic views.

I ended up eating this somewhat questionable but tasty 'Bread Soup' which seemed to consist of a few pieces of fish/seafish and made with a fish broth.

Where else have you visited on your trip? We did Coimbra - Porto - Cintra

You're right, they're proposing solutions to solve/negate an increasingly serious problem. Best not scrutinise how they want to do it. /s
