@maxi77 the subject has as they say been put to bed. The OP has sorted it and has moved on after advice from members on here.

Sorry I did not see any notice saying other comments were forbidden, I was only trying to give some general information rather than advice to the OP.

Comments are NOT forbidden, so don't feel bad about your comments at all, all info is useful so don't let this put you off.

The thread is open and can be added to by anyone. Maxi77's post in the thread added to the debate. What did your post add other than a hint of rudeness in that their contribution is not wanted and a tone that might make people think twice about posting? If you think a post should not be there then report it. Much like the half dozen who reported your post. Thanks

Jim, I fully understand that the thread is still open and NO rudeness or hint of rudeness was meant or intended by me. The OP contacted me via PM and was happy to settle the problem and move on as it was stressful and that was my point. The comment "as they say been put to bed" was meant that the OP has moved on.

@maxi77 No offence was meant to you and do not be put off giving information. What I meant was the OP has moved on from the experience.

Even in Armacao de Pera when the GNR tried the same in the Football Club car park a deal was quickly reached which allowed long term 'parking', but not 'camping'. We have not been down this winter due to circumstances outside our control, but have heard no adverse comments from our fellow snowbirds. On the more positive side we have just got a refund for road tax on our last Bongo when we took it back to UK. At first they tried to fine us for non payment but when we showed that the vehicle was now a UK one again they cancelled the fines and yesterday nearly 12 months later in came a tax refund

Thanks for the info on Armacao de Pèra and I am glad it is still open. We stayed there for a few night In April in the company of 3 other Funster vans and would definitely want to return (even though it rained for 4 days solid). We knew the bad weather front was due and thought the town was a good place to hold up for a few days. The Football club car park has everything you need - fresh water and waste dumps all for a couple of euros a day.

Must be a bit of a culture shock being back in the UK?

Thanks. If people misunderstand the meaning of a message or perceive it to be rude, it's not their fault, it's the message senders. We all have a duty to ensure our messages don't unintentionally offend.

Oh yes, I had forgotten about that. The sun did come out once or twice for a walk on the beach too.

Mmmm! Recommended fish restaurant. Do you know its name?

No. It is down a side street off main prom. On the left just before a shop selling LPG bottles. No menu at lunch time just get the fresh fish they have.

Not only that Bollywood opposite the fish market is possibly the best Indian in the Algarve. Pedros bar is a popular stop for a beer and light snack, and for the more upmarket snack the Forteleza is good. The reality is that almost all eateries in the Algarve are good, they go out of business otherwise but there are quite a few that major on local peasant food which does not always suit British taste

And that was quite clear from his earlier post. Don't worry I am not offended.

Does that mean we can intentionally offend then Jim?
