Portugal Coastline with Derek & Wendy

We all had a wonderful time in the glorious sun with temperatures in the low 30’s. Our hotel was within just a few minutes’ walk of the beach. Several days were spent relaxing on sun-beds under umbrellas to help shade us from the rays! We enjoyed playing in the sea and loved the fun of jumping the waves. We also played Frisbee on the hot sands. Lunches were spent in the nice beach bar close by. When not on the beach we swam in our hotel swimming pool.

We took a trip by land-train to Albufeira town for some shopping therapy and to have a nice lunch. There were some nice bars and restaurants and we stopped off for an ice cream and a drink as we sauntered along!

Another day trip was to the Zoo Marine. It was great and we saw two shows, one being a sea lion show and the other a show with dolphins. We also went to the 4D cinema, which was quite amazing!

On many of our evenings we enjoyed the shows at our hotel. There were fire shows and parrot shows and also a karaoke spot which Ruth excelled at!

It was Wendy’s birthday on one of our days and we had a really nice night out in a superb restaurant and we sang “happy birthday” as she blew out her candle.

The weather was just right for our relaxing holiday.
