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 rainMy flat is going r http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-273850.html Hello everyoneGreece was amazing and now I'm in Portugal until FridayThere 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 sunshineWe 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 niceYesterday I http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-271718.html April 13 2008We 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 didnrsquot have much to do so again walks happen http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-266762.html EnglishAt the moment we are taking a day off from biking and we are staying in a small town called Alvor next to the city Portimao. We have been traveling for about a week we left from Punta Umbria which is a small beach town in Spain where Rocio's sister lives and now we are in Portugal. We've mostly been traveling along the side of the highway. So far weve mostly been camping althouhg one http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-254692.html Travel blog 9 Sorry for not blogging for last month but we thought our everyday life might be boring. Understand it probably is so apologies to all and to let you know we plan to stay in Algarve until Xmas and then move off into Spain in the early new year.... so watch this spaceTuesday 6th NovemberRoverless today so got bikes out and headed east to find the bird hides at the lagoon east of http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-225899.html Voyages Genevive et Lucie Portugal octobre 2007Algarve AlbufeiraLisbonne http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-217608.html Tuesday 25th SeptemberFound a lovely little Net Kafe here in Albufeira to escape the midday heat you know. Actually its difficlt to find a wifi 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 satur http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-205447.html 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 niceThe 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 http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-201115.html 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 tikitouring around the general area It was quite an ordeal considering we just wanted to get to our hotel complex and http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-180379.html 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 tr http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-167623.html Il m'avait bien laiss un petit mot dans le parebrisemais comme mon portugais est bien en dea du plus rudimentaire des dialectes de l'arrirepaysje n'ai pas saisi le message.Un grad le trs arrire petit cousinun sergent si j'en juge d'aprs la bananne qui lui srtie la manche de chemise et qui plus est parle la franaisecomme dirait Patrick Huard dans bon copbad cop en parlant de so http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-134333.html Last I left off I was in Albuferia Portugal counting down the days until I flew to London town. So a quick recap as its been sooo longhellip Arrived in Portugal after going via the states staying with Rizzo Brent and Gordo eating burgers drinking beer and seeing sights arrived in Lisbon with no idea of what direction to go ended up enticing an argument between a group of oldies who then http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-119442.html We chose this Aparthotel only because we wanted to try something different to the Paraiso de Albufeira for which I have already a reviewThe room is airy and spacious but very poorly decorated. The kitchen is fully equiped but we thought it best to give all utensils a good wash. Our room had a great view to the outside pool and we could see the beach as well. The bathroom was tacky and most of i http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-111558.html We went SC and had a T1 which was on the 3rd floor. The room was very spacious and clean. The kitchen was complete and the whole room was tastefully decorated. The facilities are excellent and the pools outside enormous. We only used the indoor pool and the jacuzi which let me tell u is a must it's super warm. The room itself was just right and we never had to switch on the heat the kids loved t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-111556.html Well after having read most of the reviews I was a little aprehensive about this resort.... To start we were there for a little weekend break so I guess I never had much time to really look deeply into things The resort itself was very clean both the outside and indoor pools. The slide was closed not sure why The plants around the pool looked lush and green. The room was pretty much what we http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-111555.html So me Cutes Vix Dania Renee Heather went to Albufeira Portugal where is was hot beautiful and funI'd never been to Portugal before but it nice to go to where Dania was from well she's from Lisbon... and to eat nice fresh sardines everyday and I mean everydayAnyway we spent 25 of the time on the beach relaxing and soaking up the sun... We spent 40 at the clubs dancing the night http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-98332.html So caught the train from Porto back through Lisbon and down to Albufeira in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. You cant get much more south Portugal than this. Were about 20 mins from Lagos pronounced Lagoosh which is a really hopping tourist town particularly for the youth. I think there is some decent surfing around these parts too. By the way the Portuguese language is a who http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-90137.html After recommendations from the ticket clerk we took the train from Porto to Albufeira a small city not even om our map but close to Faro in the south of Portugal. It was supposed to be the party town of Portugal something we just had to see...We arrived there at about 22.30 or so at the train station far out of the city centre. The plan was to catch a bus from there but as we soon discovere http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Portugal/Algarve/Albufeira/blog-74337.html
