We’ve headed inland a bit, and are now on a lovely site in the middle of nowhere, about 10km from the nearest town Albufeira. It’s a small place and has a new age – hippy feel to it. The owners are really friendly and laid back, and just want everyone to have a great time. They organise social activities and run an honesty bar, and a barbecue has been lined up for Sunday.
I have managed to book myself in with a chiropractor a bit further along the coast for Tuesday, so we think we’ll stay here until then. Carol’s done two loads of laundry, we’ve spent time reading, and I went out for an hour or so on my bike. We’re going to spend the next few days just chilling out. If I hadn’t quit my job, one of the projects I was managing would have been going live today, Good Friday, and I’d have been working my nuts off. That all seems a million miles away right now.

If you get time, try the Snoopy bar on the seafront in the old town, just along from O Ruina. Used to have a brilliant live covers band most nights, Grooveline, I think they were called. The walls used to be decorated in post-it note sketches of Snoopy done by the punters. Admittedly that was 10 years ago-ish
Hi Stu, thanks for the tips. We didn’t go to the seafront in Albufeira, and we’ve been eating in the van of late to try and keep the cost down. Cheers Mike
