Holiday in the Algarve

Being invited to Portugal by the girlfriends parents when you haven’t met them yet can be quite daunting, but the prospect of a bit of sunshine helped me to say yes. I managed to meet them before going which, thankfully, put my mind to rest.

We stayed in a villa outside Portimão, which luckily had a pool, because the 36°C temperatures were often unbearable. Unfortunately with the villa being in the middle of nowhere, opportunities to whip out my trusty Canon were few and far between, but I managed a few, including quite an impressive one of the villa’s chimney!
