Nice campsite at Praia da Luz and more beaches and good walks through fields full of wild orchids.

Another walk round nature park area, a large lagoon just back from the beach at Praia Grande. Stopping afterwards for a rather large icecream.

Lagoa Trail 7th April

Took scooter up into hills about 30 miles and went on walk around a lovely hilltop and river valley . Very hot day and lots of birds.

Marinha to Carvallo 5th April

Furthur travelling around the coast paths and met up with Pete and Margaret again and went to Carvallo with them and had a meal on the sea front.The beaches just get better and better.

Almancao de Pera 2nd April

Very fortunate to find a wonderful camping spot on this terraced campsite. This area is full of sandy coves waiting to be discovered, the only draw back is that the cliffs look like they are ready to fall onto your head! Using scooter and foot we managed to complete most of the coastal path in this area. Weather as you can see from the photos was beautiful.

Rebecca's visit 27th March

Becca flew out to visit us after her operation for some rest and relaxation. Moved onto Quarteria, another lovely woodland site. Visited Villamoura a Golfer's paradise. Pete and Margaret met up with us on a day out to Albufeira and we visited their Villa.

Estoi & Milreu 23rd March

Bikes out again, this time up into the hills to the charming town of Estoi with a rococo Palicio circa 1840 which has just been restored and turned into a Posada. Then onto Milreu the excavated site of a Roman Villa and farm which has some good examples of mosiacs especially as a farm building had been built over some of them.
