Off to Portugal

[snootydog]

First holiday of the year and this time we are giving Portugal a try,instead of the usual Tenerife. As usual its time to decide on the watch to take. I never take my Speedmaster because i have the tendancy to fall over or walk into walls most nights on holiday....its that foreign beer,lol. Portugal is hot and sunny at the moment so i think it will have to be the newly modded orange Samurai.....yes on the 'Tony the Tiger' strap....ok maybe i will take a more subdued black strap too,lol. I now have the internet phone so i will post a few pics from Portugal. Back in two weeks.

If you have the same experience in Portugal as I had when I was there a few years ago you will love it!


If you are staying in Algarve (as you probably are):
Monchique is worth a visit (regions highest mountain) - if you have a rental that is


Albufeira is best left alone, if not there is a seafood resturant on the far left of the beach (facing the sea) it's fantastic! It's called Resturant Tipico Aruina.



Have a nice trip!



Oh, and if you are in Lisboa. There is a wine bar called Nectar in Rua dos Douradores, nr.33. It's pretty close to the castle, the area isn't the best. But the owners are the best hosts I have ever experienced. They are both well educated and had good jobs but decided to follow a dream and start a wine-bar/resturant. Serving great food with local ingredients and really good local wine.

Hope you have fun, Portugal looks like a good time. You could always pick up a Prometheus while there .
