It's been cloudy all day - overcast and very humid - not what was expected at all. I've felt lethargic all day, possibly after last night's adventures.......
The marina is a good 40 minute walk from the old town, and it was decided to go for a slap up meal. (no surprise there then!) As the only one of us who'd been here before Glynn knew the way into town and the most sensible place to meet up. He and Pete went off to find the local Guiness bar and Martin, Joe and I took our time with leisurely showers before setting out to follow them. Albufeira is a maze of small streets that go either steeply up or down hill - nothing is on the level. We found them eventually! After a good meal with a brilliantly eccentric waiter (such a deep voice belonged under a sombrero in a b movie western!) the boys decided that 5 Guinesses were not enough and that they needed a couple more. Martin and I decided we had only enough energy left to find our way home so we left them to it and headed off - in completely the wrong direction as it turned out. We finally got back to Cariad after an hour and 40 minutes.... at least we made it home before the others.
So I've enjoyed an easy day and caught up with some reading while Martin, Glynn and Pete have pottered with boat type jobs and Joe's enjoyed a long day on the computer.
As previously stated - it's a tough life but someone's got to do it. HF
