Well, that’s a way to be woken that we haven’t heard in a
long time – it’s raining! Without internet we've not been able to get a
forecast but no bother, we intended to travel back down to the coast today and
perhaps it might be better there.
So with no facilities to service Bertie we left after breakfast,
calling in for fuel at the first filling station we've seen since Spain in the
town. Heading south, we picked up the N124 which is the “back road” along the
Algarve avoiding the holiday resorts and passing through the hills which,
despite the lessening showers, was quite attractive.
Eventually we reached the outskirts of Faro and, spotting a
Lidl, stopped for basics and lunch in their car park. Quite a few Lidl stores
provide designated motorhome parking, although we’re not sure if overnighting
is welcomed.
Having decided that a few days on a “proper” campsite was in order
we headed for a site we’d used two years ago at Quarteira. Unlike all the aires
and unofficial places we’d seen there was plenty of room and we booked in for
three nights.
Although sunny and dry now, the receptionist thought we may
have more rain tomorrow; we’ll just have to wait and see.
