Why I'd Like To Live In The Algarve...
Just why WOULD I like to live in the Algarve?
Well, just looking out the window today gives me reason enough...
It's bucketing down in Bournemouth! And seems to have been doing just that for weeks.
I looked back through the digital pics we took on our late August vacation this year, and almost sobbed. Our biggest problem back then was how to get enough sun-blocker onto our ever-browner skins!
So, that's one big plus about having a holiday site - you are reminded often of nice things in pleasanter climes. And it helps your resolve to book another holiday soon.
My ISP's servers seem to have been down for the last two days, so I haven't been able to add to this blog, or to upload my latest e-zine, or add any new pages.
I hope they answer my enquiry about lack of service in less than the 4 weeks (!) it took them last time.
My page about Algarve camping is now complete and ready to upload. It's an increasingly popular way to see the Algarve, but with bargain packages like the one that took us to lovely Albufeira, I can't see me being tempted...
On the one hand, a tent or caravan... on the other, an air-con apartment with access to saltwater pools and gymnasium, only 400 metres from the beach. Now let me see....
Perhaps I'm just decadent, but the apartment seems that tad more alluring.
Of course, if we had our own Algarve property, there'd be no choices to bother me. I wonder should I add it to my Christmas list? Please, Santa...
