Well woke up this morning to learn that Patrick Swayze died so very sad start to the day, not to dwell on things from the past I jumped in the shower and got ready for our last day onthe Algarve we had a lot of plans! Since our luggage showed up we were going out to get all kinds of souvenirs to bring back... YAY!!! First thing we ate the Hotel breakfast adn then off to old town very quaint although once again it has been turned into a shopping district, but that is what we were looking for so it worked out well! Hubby wanted a cork hat and I decided to pick up a cork purse they are very nice and so very soft and pliable. 90% of the worlds cork comes from Portugal and it is a renwable resource as the bark grows back in about 10 years and can be harvested again! In the shop there was all kinds of cork products, you name it the Portuguese will make it out of cork!
After we were done shopping we decided to take a boat ride and see the coastline from a boatand check out all the caves and coves that are along the coast. It was so much fun and we got a little spray here and there as we were riding along once we were done riding along the coastline the boat went out into the ocean and we searched for dolphins the boat went so fast that we were literally flying over the waves then we hit a wall of water and we got soaked I mean soaked it was nearly 90 degrees and we were shivering the whole boat they guy driver kept saying sorry so sorry, eventually we found dolphins but we were all so cold everyine was like cool lets go back now!!!! once we arrived back to the docks hubby and I bought a beach towel each to dry ourselves off and to portect our rental car from water damage.
We headed back to tthe Hotel and both took showeres to warm up and get ready for dinner. We met my Aunt and Uncle again and had a lovely last supper and then we went for a walk through, what could only be described as Bourbon Street, this is where my Aunt and Uncle own a bar. After we were done there we went back to their house for a night cap and our goodbyes. We headed back to the hotel for our last night. In reflecting over the last 5 days we had such a nice time and we will miss it terribly. We also have vowed to come back!
Til next post...
