Kevnjan's new advenure.

Fri. 29th. Mar. As you know, I don't like to complain but let me tell you, this weather is crap!! It's 9.30am on Good Friday and it's pouring with rain again, we've had a thunderstorm and now it's just raining. We are getting the weather England should be getting, its all thanks to the jetstream moving again. I can take a joke - but come on - this is Portugal, the sun's supposed to be shining. Anyway, what have we done this week? On Monday we took the bus to Portimao and Jan had a couple of hours shopping. It's quite a big town, the second largest on the Algarve and the main shopping centre is a good way from the seafront. Jan had a good look around and I sat out and had my last beer for a while. We planned to have lunch in Portimao but didn't see anywhere that attracted us so we took the bus back to Alvor and went to a fishermans bar on the seafront and enjoyed sardines, salad and potatoes. It was good, we washed it down with a bottle of water. We've decided to be good, no booze for me, no ice cream for Jan, in preparation for our return to England, apparently we have to look slim and fit. (I thought I looked that already,) but I'll go along with it for a while. Tuesday passed almost unnoticed until we watched the England game in the evening. Why do we do this to ourselves? My sympathy lies with the fans who travel to watch. Do they need their heads examining? And I had to watch without the benefit of booze. It was tough!! Wednesday was dry and cloudy, with the occasional glimpse of the sun. I sat and read most of the day while Jan went with a couple of ladies and had her hair done. Very nice it looks too. Thursday we went to Lagos on the bus. We like Lagos, a pretty riverside town with beautiful sandy beaches either side of the river. The town itself is old, with winding narrow streets and lots of bars and shops. Laid back, colorful and full of charm. The weather was reasonably kind, sunny periods, when it was really quite warm. When the sun disappeared though it was very cool. The buses here are expensive, I suppose they would be when we travel free in England. It's when the weather is bad that you miss the car. Never mind, mustn't grumble. Happy Easter. Isn't it strange how blue skies make all the pictures so much more colorful.
