Could it be because you were in unknown territory? We know, and are known by, several of the local shopkeepers and bar/restaurant owners here in Tavira and are treated like regulars. And they all seem to appreciate our attempts to speak their language.

We and our friends have always been made to feel welcome. Any attempts to to speak Portuguese have always been appreciated. So few Brits try it is embarrassing. They put up with my poor prounciation and smile sweetly. If you ask how to say it properly I have find they go out of their way to help. And if you try where you are not known and you get it it right the reply at 100mph tends to catch you by surprise!

Algarve so far.....?

Not for us I'm afraid. Just one of many thousands of Tourists here and treated as such despite my best efforts. Also got ripped off in Burgau so we're both looking forward to the second part of our trip.

Anyway, only got 2 minutes of air time left so better sign off. Hope you're all well. Might see you soon Gazzer

PS: For Cleri and Nomes..... what happened to Sporting last night

Laterz
if you see it in time Rua vasco da gama, behind avenida, sorry to hear that you have had a few probs, most unusual for the area?, have a good trip up north though hope you find where you want to be!

Have you seen Cav's wine cellar? I could live in it, at least until the wine runs dry.

Just got back to the US....

Tired.....


It was fun and I wish we could have met some of you peeps.

I miss Portugal already....


Unfortunaly I won't be getting any rest... I have a sh%t load of Sh%t being delivered for my vegetable garden and we have to till it in today.

I took some film of the area. When I figure it out I will put it on the net for you guys to see where we were.

Cheers

Glad to hear you and your family arrived home safely Paul. Look forward to the piccie's.

Cleri is back tomorrow isn't she? I wonder of she's drunk the locals dry.
