... about the Qantas, Jetstar or Virgin Blue self check in system. Unlike BA, if you were booked to fly together then generally when you go to check yourself in all call up your booking, the person that your are travelling with also appears. But at BA, the idea seems to be if you don't go and start checking in 24 hours before your departure, then they will allocate you seats at random, so not taking into account that you are travelling with your significant other and may ...

Bussed to Faro, a small seaside town with not a hell of a lot really!!

Our room had no window, but faked the appearance by having a curtain anyway... nothing like a little bit of closet sleeping!!

Went for a swim at the beach/lagoon with our 1.60 euro bottle of red ...

Dazu üppige Zmorgenessen mit allem was man sich wünscht....das alles tat eben doch auch gut :-) (ah ja,und sogar nachrichten auf SF1 im tv schauen.hapimag ist ja ...

We've finally made it! Spent the night and next morning in Faro. Saturday night we, went for a walk and found an outdoor bar with quite a few local characters about. Had a couple of beers (Super Bock - seems to be the local beer of choice). Opposite our hotel was a church with a resident stork family on the tower. Lots of narrow cobblestone streets like a maze of one way streets.

... was a  three to five feet wide uneven brick walkway around the inside perimeter of the castle up by the turrets.  Off the walkway was a drop-off that varied between ten and twenty feet.  This walkway was the main route used; there were kids running around on it, people passing each other and clusters of people that spanned right to the edge caused by the interest people have to be standing wherever someone else is.  On these areas there were ...

... They inspired some typical "dad jokes" - is a baby stork called a twig? And if the stork brings human babies, does a flying human bring baby storks?! We saw all sorts of unusual flowers, too, including Lusitanian fritillary, birds' nest orchid and tongue orchid. It was time to move on, but we would like to return to El Rocio in the future. After spending more than three months in Spain and getting used ...

Looduspark koosneb 60km pikkusest laguunide kogumist, kus elavad mitmesugused linnud ja loomad. Kuna seal oli ukse peal silt, et töötajad on messil, siis võtsime endale voli ikkagi parki jalutama minna. Kokku läks u 1,5h. Radade juures on aeg-ajalt infotahvlid, kus seletatakse mingi looma, linnu või taime päritolu kohta. Mõnusa jalutuskäigu ja linnulaulu otsinguil soovitan sinna minna küll :)

... ja inimtühi (seevastu suvel pidavat populaarne koht olema). Hotelli taga oli suur rannariba, kus meil õnnestus väike piknik maha pidada. Piknikukraami hankimiseks pidime tükk aega supermercadot otsima ning lõpuks leidsime meie mõistes säästumarketi. Lähim korralik pood asus ilmselt Faros (22 km).

... lastada sauna. Saunasid oli kolm, aga üks neist miskipärast sisse lülitamata. Vähemalt olid auru- ja leilisaun mõnusad. Massaažid olid seks päevaks kõik juba välja müüdud, kuigi ma ei näinud seal mitte üheski "protseduuriruumis" midagi toimumas. See asutus meenutas paljuski Viimsi SPA'd, kuhu teist korda enam ei läheks. Seega olen ma endiselt "tõelise SPA" otsinguil.. Piirkond ise aga on väärt külastamist. Pinget pakuvad käänulised mägiteed ja ilusad vaated.

... plunge and head right down in to the bottom of town, hoping it's the right way! After some lunch by a little stream bought from the village shop, we continue on over forested hills and past some big lakes. We find what we thought might be another potential turn off, to find a dirt track with m**************s. Decide to give that a miss, but have a good look at the old rammed earth building on the corner. We ...
