Today we went somewhere different. To
Alvor where there was a different beach to try. While it was a great place to go, I have to say that I prefer
Praia dos Caneiros as the sun loungers that you can hire are closer to the sea and the sand is finer as well as the view in my opinion being more spectaculor. The beach at
Alvor is much larger, and when I say that one beach is better than this, that is not to say that this is not a great place. There are more places to eat at
Alvor, there is more parking, the beach being larger means that there are more places to be when you are there. And we had a great time here, the kids loved swimming in the sea and making loads of things on the beach with the buckets and spades that we brought from the UK. Afterwards a quick trip to
Carvoeiro for lunch and to pay our toll charge for using the motorway.
While I type this, the kids are sleeping, having had a busy few days. One thing that we felt we had to do to make the most of the day was to arrive at the beaches early to to get parking, more of an issue yesterday compared to today though and this has had to mean that while the kids have had late nights, they have continued to rise early in the morning. So, while typing, I am also reading about the
Arsenal draw for the European Cup as it looks that
Arsenal are in the group of doom. Saying that, when our backs have been up against the wall, we have managed to get some great results, but
time will tell if our squad will be enough for this season or not.
