As some of you know we are staying at Big Pedros campsite in the Algarve and we celebrated Byrnes night today - thought you might like to see some of the fun we had. See Anna(MHF member) dancing with Pedro and the other half of the team Mireille.

Pedro is getting quite an education from the funsters


He deserves a big round of applause.

Glad you are all having such a fabulous time and really wish I was there with you.

Not long enough, but a little common sense helps..........
I think Jim should change Pedro's title from "Funster" to "The Funster's Place Portugal" that would be nice. ( Please Jim ) as 70% of the people staying are members on here.

What a lot of the funster's don't know..and it's only because they have not met Pedro & Mireille and of course there son David..is...they are Honest, Very kind, Very helpful, Nothing is a problem for them... they will try 110%, they go that extra mile.... that is rare to find in the present world we live in today..They have even turned there dining room and kitchen and other parts of there house over to the Funsters so they can enjoy there time with them in Portugal at "Motorhome Friends Albufeira" ....Christine and myself can not praise them enough... A great Family..with great friends around them..plus all Pedro's friends and fishermen..what a team...we love them to bits ...we wish we was there now and should have been....but Christine my wife has just had a major operation and had her left kidney removed 7 days ago due to 2 large tumors....so we can only sit in front of the computer and look at all the video's and photo's of our friends new and old also new Funsters and other Motorhomers enjoying themselves at Pedro & Mi's:thumb:....don't forget all the work Pedro, Mi and friends have put into this place in a very short time mid summer last year " Motorhome Friends Albufeira" it was just a house on/ with some scrub land...that was cleared, set out, electric, water....etc..all by themselves and friends...also.don't forget Pedro works at night in a night club as a doorman....and I think Mi work's or did work for the Nederland's tourist board...plus bringing up there son David..so having spare time is a rare item..also having worked through the night come the following day when Pedro should be asleep he is as bright as button...talking helping the Funsters organizing trips to Portuguese traditional markets...to Iceland the English shop and also Continente supermarket , BBQs,Petanque ...and any other games he can think of....Pedro will always listen so any good suggestions that may help, just mention them to him you never know he may implement them.....well done Pedro, Mireille and David:thumb:

Can you spot it on the aerial map ? Or is it too new. Maybe you could find it on street view.

Eg N36 12.081

You need to select a different format...

Garmin -> Where to -> Coordinates -> Format

Select desired format from a choice of three
h ddd.ddddd
h ddd mm.mmm
h ddd mm ss.s

Amazingly accurate is Google. The old aerial view just shows a field.

Yes, got that but it does not look like a camp site. It must have changed since the pics were taken.

Brian ..NO ...it's NOT a camp site...it is where Pedro & Mi ..lives...the Motorhomes are at the rear of the property...yes the front will be the same...but the rear will be different to when the photo's was taken...

If you are coming to the campsite follow the co-ords. given, it's a very small road, you will pass under the motorway bridge, the house and campsite are on the left just round a corner, the house and wall are pink and there is a red plaque on the wall on the left side of the gate - hand painted with M.H.F. on it (Motorhome Friends). There is also a stack of painted tyres on each side of the gateway. Make sure you leave room either side of the motorhome when coming through the gate as it is uneven and you will come through the gate at an angle making your motorhome tip to the left. We got through OK and we are 8' wide and had no problems.

We have been waiting for a part for our fridge - it won't work on gas, so wildcamping is out at present. The part should arrive today, but we will give it a couple of days more, then we are heading off to Portimao to JJ's meet for the third, so may stay here until then. Nothing definite, so you may see us here Thursday or you may not, but then it is a good place to hang out. Or if you are coming to JJ's meet around the 3rd and 4th Feb. you will see us there.

There are 4 other motorhomes here from Fun.

Safe journey.
