Good morning!

Quinta dos Cariços

Arrived by train and bus to Salema, 2 min walk to the parque de campismo, pitched tent before dark and even managed to have supper. I think we ll put on weight! 

Walked around the lovely wild and natural site after our morning yoga. So peaceful!

Gatwick

Spent night at Yotel, very small, clean, organised, just a bed , table and shower in about 9 sq metres, free drinks and wifi. Wonderful! But a bit small for yoga practice!

Then anniversary supper at the Hilton..

Faro

Managed to find local bus to Faro centre,  (and ask for tickets in Portuguese!), saw stalks nesting on top of San Pedro church, forgot how lovely floor scape was and as a super treat had vegetarian lunch in the Ginger and Cinnamon Restaurant (www.gengibrecanela.blogspot.com)

Off to Portugal

Kitchen cupboards are painted at last 

My little desk is made

Bathroom's tiles grouted (except for soap recess

Life is beautiful

And we re off to Salema! 

Gatwick's Yotel tonight (with an anniversary meal), flight to Faro at 8.00 am tomorrow, then bus, train, bus to our favourite campsite in Salema :)

Dining area

John the carpenter started to make the seats and I am trying to match the old boards by painting them with caustic soda. Unsuccessful so far.
