Although a bright enough start on Wednesday, it didn’t look
too promising so we just hung around the van all morning tidying up and what
have you. After lunch we decided to chance it, packed waterproofs and walked
into town. Bren was looking for a hairdresser and Terry for some Portuguese
internet.
But we didn’t get far before the rain started again, but we
decided to carry on so dressed up and quickly booked an appointment for Bren
tomorrow. Further exploring the modern main street of this fairly uninteresting
town we found a Vodafone shop and got a new sim – as evidenced by the fact that
you’re now reading our blog again!
Thinking of possibly a coffee, we wandered down to the front
in ever-increasing rain and spotted a craft shop where certain purchases were
made (can’t say too much!). A new watch battery for Terry and watch strap for
Bren completed our mission before we high-tailed it back to the van, sans coffee. Hot chocolate and then a
fight with the internet connection before more notalot for the rest of the day.
Thursday looked as though it might be a bit brighter
although the weather forecast we got last night
suggested no improvement until
next week, certainly not on the Algarve. So we took the opportunity of a bit of
washing (and drying, a bit expensive though) then showers before Bren went off
to have her hair done.
As I write, late afternoon, we haven’t decided what we’re
going to do next. We had wanted to visit Cabo de Sao Vicente, the south-west
corner of Portugal, having missed it last year but we’ll probably now wait
until we’re on the road tomorrow. Again, watch this space.
