Despite a forecast of rain for most of the day, Saturday was
clear and very warm when we got up, the solar panel already having fully
charged the batteries, so opened everything up and got the chairs out. However
there was a cool breeze running in off the sea and it wasn't too long before it
started to cloud over and by lunchtime it was raining quite heavily. What is it
about the Algarve and us?
It did dry up later though it never became warm enough again
to sit out.
Sunday was our normal late start with bacon and eggs looking
out at patchy sunshine which, however, was enough to charge the batteries
again. All the other half dozen or so vans here are French which, as we've seen
quite a few other nationalities, puzzled us a bit until we noticed that this parking
spot was only in the French Guide to Portugal. Still, we had parked in such a
way that they couldn't encroach on us as is their usual habit. They do seem
unhappy if there is more than 2 feet between their vans…………….
We later had a little walk round, noticing that the place
seemed quite popular with Portuguese although the beach-side fish restaurant
probably had something to do with it. Going back up the hill confirmed there
was nothing but holiday lets and one 4-star hotel that was just about open but
not at all busy. The season apparently doesn't start until Easter by which time
we’ll probably be in southern France.

Move on tomorrow (the loo is getting slightly iffy – but you
didn’t need to know that did you?)
