Albufeira, Portugal

We woke up to some intense heat at ten am. Very lazy. We opted for a day around the pool. We got some Coco-Pops from the supermarket on the campground and had breakfast by the tent.

With books, newspapers and towels in hand, we went and found a shady spot near the pool and didn’t move until after lunch.

After a quick dip, Roberta went back to the supermarket and bought some bread rolls and cheese for a cheap lunch. Then, low and behold, I spot Luvo walking along the path to the pool. He was soon followed by Kern, Beck, Karla and Johnny Joiner, who had been in Lagos for the past few days. This was as exciting as running into Les Murray. They had come back to catch the bus onto Lisbon today. We may, however, catch up with them again in Porto.

Once they left, we settled back into our holiday lifestyle – sun/shade/pool until 5.30 pm.

After a shower, we headed back up to the bar for happy hour and pizza for dinner. We stayed until closing time with fellow Eurobussers, Jo from Gloucester, Jerome from New Zealand, and Richard from Melbourne. No need to leave, as the drinks were cheap, company was good and the live cover band was pretty good as well.
