Best Western Dom Bernardo Hotel Faro

... arrives, probably in an hour or two. <br><br>Now I'm feeling a little remote. I'm pretty good at making the best of a situation, and dealing with the resources I have. As I haven't eaten yet today, I search a few of the nearby gardens for a bit of fruit to tide me over. Under the cover of early morning light I find a mature pomegranate tree loaded with fruit. I grab 5 of the plumpest fruits I can find and wander ...

In Albufeira, we went to a Portugese bullfight, not the real deal as in they don't kill the bull, rather they stab them in the back with a bunch of arrows. I thought it was mean, especially the first bull because it was pretty much still a baby and looked scared instead of angry. Jon ...

Well it's been almost 28 hours since we left a cold, wet and windy Melbourne on Monday and we are here at last! The flights were generally OK with no major issues, aside from a plane load of children on the BA flight from London to Faro (we were prepared for this since July/Aug is the summer holiday season in Europe) and BA deciding to split us apart in the seating but were not able to seat us together cos the plane was full - very odd). <br><br>The flight connections were ...

... speak with me than Virg, this being the opposite experience to the one we had in the north of the country, and come to that, everywhere else.<br><br>Nevertheless, it was lovely to chill for a few days and the hotel, with its rooftop terrace bar and pool provided a good base.

... and asks about hostels. He sounds like a pot smoking Coloradian.. yep he is. He lives outside of Denver and is hitch-hiking thru Europe. He's stoked that I know the ways of Denver and he asks me for a good hostel. I tell him the only one I know of us is the one I'm staying at. I give him my extra Faro map with the Hostel circled and make my way to the train. On the train ride I read up about Tavira. I get there and find the tourist information ...

... mij door een Duitser van een grote catamaran aan de hand gedaan. Zowaar, na het ontwateren van de carborateur is het probleem verholpen en start de motor meteen. Omdat het al begint te schemeren en de stroom niet meer te stuiten is verleggen wij onze plannen naar morgen. Als we dinsdag 19 juni opstaan en naar buiten kijken zien we dat al het water om ons heen heeft plaats gemaakt voor een komwater omgeven door zandheuvels begroeit met gras. Het is ...
