Portugal

2 weeks spent doing nothing! What a fantastic holiday. We flew in Faro on Saturday lunch time and made it to the villa by about 4ish. The villa was amazing so much room and fantastic location.

The first week it was me, Mila, Helen, Anne, Clare, Claire, Lee & Steve. We spent the week exploring the area. There were 6 beaches within 15min walk. The closest one was literally down the road, 5mins. We had a couple of bbq's and there was a cocktail bar/hotel next door so we were able to pop in for a quick feed. Mila, Helen & I found a fab restaurant near St Rafael beach. It was super tasty and we went back there a couple of times. We hit the night life a couple times but it really caters to the British tourists. We saw alot of drunk English people in the gutters. So after a couple nights out we didn't really need to go.

The week went by fast and it was soon time for Mila, Helen & Anne to leave. And for Daryl to come out. So it was the six of us the second week. Again nothing interesting to report except 30 degree weather everyday! Lazing by the pool, or on the beach. The most strenuous event was a boat trip we did around the coast with a bbq on a private cove. It was lovely to be on the boat and Clare & I decided to swim from the beach back to the boat. It was a massive swim and wasn't sure if I would make it. Most exercise I had done in 2 weeks.

Ate lost of seafood and the prawns were MASSIVE! Portugal was such a lovely place and the people were really friendly. Sharing the villa was such a good idea I would defo do it again.
