SEPTEMBER 24TH - A NICE DAY OUT

Today we were planning an easy day with friends who have home over here.   Carol and Francis drove over this morning to take us out and show us the local sights.     As Alberferia was only a short drive away and Nigel had been there on holiday about 35 years ago, we decided to drive over there and take a look.      Of course it was nothing like Nigel remembered - long gone was the sleepy little fishing village and now there was a sprawling resort.   However, once beyond the new sea front, there was still evidence of the original narrow streets.     A very enjoyable afternoon spent roaming around before returning back to Persephone. We have plans over the next few days to visit Ria Guadiana  (once Nigel has refitted the lopo light) and then return to Vilamoura by the weekend and spend a day or two with Carol and Frances at their Portuguese home.
