🇵🇹 Autumn holiday time

Will go and explore the western Algarve region when I am ready and finished my morning tea.

We head off west and in no time at all we are in Albufeira. First stop is in the shopping mall where all the Xmas decorations are up.

Then we head for the old town centre. Almost got stuck with the car in a very small street which abruptly ended in a cul de sac. Turning the car around is a bit of a challenge. Difficult to find a parking spot in the old town and we end up at the top of a steep hill and walk down to the main street for a spot of lunch.

I am not too impressed with Albufeira, it is very much a tourist town and if I may say so not too well off tourists. The grey weather and the few drops of rain does not help.

We walk up, with difficulty, back to the car and head for Portimão. I follow ocean sailing races and this place is a regular stop before the boats race across the Atlantic. I am hoping to see nice things in the marina.

Unfortunately the weather is getting worse and we head back to the villa in Quinta do Lago. It is not long before we are back in the Club House and the bar where we meet most of the gang. Four of them (2 cars) are heading back to France the next day.

On the way home I bump into 2 other friends who insist I go to their villa for a cocktail.

Not sure at what time I got home and straight to bed
