Portugal summer hols

Fun in the sun

Last week I had been on a well deserved vacation to Portugal.
No kids! just freedom no one to call me every 5 minutes saying mum look. Or no crying in my ears after rough play and someone got hurt.
It was just me and my bestie.
Hope you enjoy my pics, theres a lot to make up for my lack of blogging.






Day 1

just arrived at resort


 posing with posies




long island iced tea





 Sao Raphael beach




Dosing up on my vitamins



Hot dog legs lol




Off to test the water


 Deuces its cooooold!

aaagh my haivananas!


Got hungry so stopped for a bite at the Praia Grande restaurant

 Jo's steak


my salmon steak was so yummy




Day 2

We booked 3 hours quad biking so we could each get time on the quads this was so much fun.







a lil cafe we stopped at to get some well needed refreshment


Decided to go into the old town to get some lunch



cocktails first of course

 here we ate at restaurant 54 food was lovely

 we shared a lovely prawn starter in garlic sauce
and I had a peppered steak and Jo had sea bass



How cool is that made from just sand and water





Day 3

This day we were supposed to go on a bbq boat cruise which didn't happen as we missed that boat so we decided to chill with our new friends Catia and her sister Catarina who work at the resort we stayed at.



It's so crazy at the fisherman's beach, as there are many restaurants, they literally taut for customers with their menus and offers and try to lore you in.
We eventually went with Flavours as they offered buy 1 get 1 free cocktails.


Tequilla sunrise

Decided to check out a different beach that was a bit of a trek away from our resort but well worth it

 was about 7 in the evening and tide was coming in




Day 4

Today there was no way we were missing the boat so we got to the marina early to set sail around the stunning coastline of the Algarve and enjoy a Portuguese beach BBQ.






The famous benagil cave that looks like the below picture inside



 bbq sardines salad was so nice i had seconds




Hope you enjoyed my pics feel free to comment or ask questions xx

Other than entertaining my sweet child (he's really a terror) I've been doing some DIY in my bedroom taking it from drab to fab and getting use out of my pinterest boards so look out for that post soon.
