We came back from Munich and had 3 days at work then left home at 4am on Friday morning to head to the Algarve, Portugal for a long weekend. We stayed in Vilamora. On the Friday we looked around Vilamora and spent the day relaxing. We hired a car from the airport and Josh drove in Europe for the first time - a little scary to start but we made it! We got a little lost getting out of Faro (no GPS of map only a road atlas I was trying to read) but finally made it 40min down the road to Vilamora. On Saturday we took the car and drove along the coast and stopped off at the different beaches and had a look around, driving all the way to Sagres and the southern most tip of Europe! Saturday night we spent in a piano bar in Vilamore watching all the oldies boggie! Sunday we had a nice sleep a walk on the beach then flew back to London for Josh to start his secondment for work.
