It Rained!
For all of ten Minutes it rained today! Once again the weather is
glorious, much warmer than I ever anticipated.
The taxi driver was saying it's really quiet just now, more like
march . . . I can agree with that, considering that this is
the Algarve, and it's the holiday week I would have expected it to
be much more busy.
We visited a town called Vilamoura today, supposedly the home of the
rich and famous. We did not see anyone famous but there was plenty of
evidence of the rich. The marina was out of this world, rows and rows
of millions of pounds worth of boats. Cars we could never afford, and
plenty of expensive wares to buy. Needless to say we managed a few ice
creams and drinks - that was it. The beach could have been anywhere,
I got loads of photos to download when we get home. If you could
imagine a beautiful carved wooden four poster bed with cushions and
canopies, place that bed and many others like it on a sublime golden
beach then you would be here - here where I was today.

Zoo Marine
We visited Zoo Marine, the day started overcast so it was perfect to
ensure we had no sun burn casualties.
Poor Toni, she was so sick today.
We saw various shows, the two I liked most were the dolphin show, and
the sea lions.
There was a 4D cinema there, it was really funny as during the
film there was breeze and water droplets blown over the audience. Poor
Seb almost jumped put of his skin when a 4D shark came swimming up!
We also had fun on the theme park rides, most of them were geared for
younger kids. We got soaked a couple times on the water rides too.
All in all it was a good day, took loads of photos which I will post
when we get home.

Portugal Has Got Talent
Firstly, Sol, she is so much better today. Her medicine worked and
I can honestly say we have our happy little girl back.
We started the day with a 'quick' hour by the pool, just so we could
relax and plan our day. That proved to be as short lived as Roy's
patience. After me walking that sick girl up and down and round the
hotel gardens yesterday Roy could not hack doing the same for 20
minutes this morning. Testing time this was for myself and the
children. That incident sorted we jumped on the train and headed for
the famous, perhaps infamous, Strip. I saw a naked Indian, am only
sorry now I did not take photos - oh alright he was a dummy, very life
like though, and I am not talking about his face. We walked our
little legs off, had lunch, took photos, then hopped back on the train.
The next stop was the old town, which
once again proved an interesting sight. They have a daily Market,
with stalls selling a vast array of goods. Plenty to see and spend
your money on.
Went to the beach after that, there is something about Algarve beaches
that makes them special - you have to be there to understand. The
kids had brilliant time playing in the sand, and me, I topped up my
tan in all the places that needed it.
This evening back at the apartments saw the children rehearsing and
performing in a talent show - much fun was had by all. Mag was
compere, Sol danced to Barbie Girl, Toni sang and danced to my
favourite Mica's Lollipop. Seb he was just plain funny and told a
stack of jokes. Sol could not have Seb being the only comedian so
she did an encore of her own made up jokes . . . Now she was funny!
