Hi Guys! Well I know it's been a while since my last update so i'll try and make this one reasonably informative. In terms of what i've been up to, my job is still going really well and Nina and I are enjoying the fine weather. It's so nice being able to spend our days with friends in the Parks or Zoo rather than being stuck inside indoor playgrounds whilst it's pouring with rain! My flat is going really well and when we are together we generally have a few drinks but most of the time Annette and I are out [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone!! Greece was amazing and now I'm in Portugal until Friday! There are 4 of us and we are staying in a resort on the beach. We spend our whole day at the pool and it's so nice to just relax in the sunshine! We didn't know it but this resort caters to Germans so everything is in German and all the workers speak German. It's also almost all old people but some of them are nice! Yesterday I played beach volleyball and that was a lot of fun!!! I hope all is well with you... i will put up [View Full Entry]

April 13, 2008 We left leaving Portimao this morning, so it was breakfast and onto the bus for an hour until we arrived in Albufeira, an Arabic influenced town. We were given 5 hours here, so we headed to the beach. Now since we, especially me, were a little colored from the day of tanning before, we lathered up our sunscreen before laying out. We didn’t have much to do, so again walks happened. After awhile on the beach, I decided I needed to flip over, so the clothes went on so I wouldn’t get even more burned! Julie, Katie, and [View Full Entry]

Tuesday 25th September Found a lovely little Net @ Kafe here in Albufeira, to escape the midday heat, you know. Actually its difficlt to find a wi-fi place here as they are all making too much money out of the fixed stations. This place is up beside the MacDonalds at the shopping centre and worth the trip. Anyway enough of the advert, not even getting a free delicious coffee !! We got here on saturday afternoon after a pleasent uneventful drive cown the motorway, avoiding Lisbon and the traffic. Main roads here are surper and signposts are clear and in English [View Full Entry]

And so there we where. The 8 of us (+ little Jasmine) trying to figure out the best bedroom for the week ! I got one of the two rooms with a double bed in the end, how nice:) The villa was really great: 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and a great swimmingpool. We were doing just fine (great start to my trip.....). Made a day trip with the two cars we had rented around the south of Portugal, but otherwise spent a lot of time relaxing at the pool or walking around the area. Thursday night we headed [View Full Entry]

Located in the middle of the southern coast of Portugal, in the area known as the Algarve, is the little beach town of Albuferia. While this town often gets a bad rap in the various travel guides, we find the old town to be delightful. With the official greeter, shown in the first photo, who couldn't be ready to relax and adopt his laid back attitude. Albuferia is especially nice if you plan a trip for any month other than July or August when it is totally over flowing with sun seeking tourists. The golden sandstone cliffs with tunnels leading [View Full Entry]

We arrived to a lovely day in Faro, southern Portugal - the sunshine was a welcome change to the smoggy london weather! We elected to take a public bus to our apartment in Albufiera (about 15miles from Faro airport), little did we know that we would spend the next 4+ hours (!) tiki-touring around the general area! It was quite an ordeal, considering we just wanted to get to our hotel complex and relax - On the up-side we did see a lot of the area around the Portugese section of the Algarve coast - whether we liked it or [View Full Entry]
