Post Easter and another foray to Liz and Steve's house in Portugal. This time a little more successfully that during my R & R from Basrah in summer 2007. It is a very nice house, well appointed etc., just our kind of thing. We ventured out sparingly spending most of the week around the house and the pool, sunning, reading, drinking, cooking and doing lots of sleeping. The weather was great and it being spring the place was ablaze with colourful vegetation. The local roads were being dug up while we were there to put in central sewerage and gas so it was a bit difficult - well impossible - to get the car up to the house, but no bother really. We had a few meals out, but mostly ate in and shopped at the Faro equivalent of Waitrose. Including getting David to eat some real fish looking fish (see coverflow). It was a good and relaxing week.
