We left the Algarve with a plan to make our way north and visit a few places on the way, it started out O K. We encountered difficulty in finding suitable camp sites in the right locations and ended up moving north more quickly than we anticipated. It’s the 20th and we are a little [...]
We visited on Saturday, good decision, a sunny and warm day. Started off with a horse drawn carriage ride around the sites. Worth the money because the horse drawn transport is permitted to use areas and streets off limit to motorised transport, and, it is very pleasant. A busy city with pleasant pedestrianised streets and [...]
We have moved to different site the nearest large town is, Olhao. The site is in a small village called, Lagoao. Small, seven pitches, all occupied by Brits. Free internet, a large sat dish which everybody can plug into giving access to the main British channels. Pictures to follow.

Was going [...]
We recently visited Faro and forgot to take the good camera, never mind said Keith we have the small one in the car. Got it out, nothing, batteries dead? Changed batteries, still no good, buy some new ones, still nothing, curses. When we got back at the end of the day Keith realised he had [...]
Location: just wait a minute while Keith looks at the map. Ah, found it, Alcantarilha. It’s near Albafeira. We arrived on Sunday the 9th. It as been nice and warm, in the twenties. Cost of living, cheap, wine, €3 95 for 5litres. Oranges, €2 50 for a bag of 32, eggs, €00.56 for half dozen, and [...]
We nearly gave up on Verona, had difficulty finding somewhere to park, glad we did not. A link with Romeo and Juliet, (see the pics). We are sure that we did not see all that there is to see, it was very hot and we were tired. The arena is the venue for open air [...]
