We had a funny thing happen today….we didn’t wake up till 9am! Does this mean we are proper pensioners or is it just the sea air? What makes it worse is the fact that we went to bed at 10 – so that’s a solid 11 hours sleep 💤
It was noticeably cooler and Guy couldn’t face battling through the maze that is Portimão to go on a bike ride. We noticed we were nearly out of fresh water and I suddenly had the brainwave that the hose might stretch to the nearby tap rather than moving the motorhome….it did! With a bit of adjustment and a minor soaking of the feet. Trouble is, the wastewater tank in now full too. So, how to drive out tomorrow without leaving a trail behind us. Would use a bucket to take some out, but the only one we have (bike cleaning bucket in previous life) has been used for a washing up bowl. Yes, we’ve sunk to new levels. There really aren’t any hardwear shops. This afternoon we walked through the town again and out by the riverside…nice walk until it ended with a pile of rubbish just dumped in the middle of the path. When we got back, I left Guy at the campsite cafe using WiFi and listening to the resident three chaps round the bar bragging about how much they could drink of an afternoon and how much money they used to have. Was funny watching one of them try and walk to the toilet though – proper zigzag !😂 I ran back into town to the bank so we can pay up tomorrow and be on our way. Ate dinner inside …too cold once it’s dark. Lagos tomorrow 😁

Alvor once more!
