Our trip this time is coming to an end and speaking to a Portuguese man we began reminiscing about portugal and the people.
We began wondering how much longer the traditional Portuguese people will be around, with all the youngsters wanting to live in cities have fast cars and earn good money.
I can't see them getting old and moving back working the land, trading the car for one of the many pick up trucks seen here and doing what their grandparents did.
Only today an old boy went past with his guttering on his scooter.
We have seen many things here, and if only the camera was handy.
On this trip we spent time with @Sundowners Nigel and Pamala and helped with the picking of the grapes, so next year we have to come back and sample the wine, they took us to the finest restaurants and we really enjoyed it, even the goat.
Loved the fact they are living the Portuguese life, Nigel took me to his neighbours house and we ended up in his cellar..............and yes his wine is good even though it was early morning. thanks see you next year.
We met up with @JJ at Coimbra always good to catch up, the magic show was on and I must thank him for escorting my princess to the show and mixing her with the famous artists from all over the world.
Janie loved it, we had a brilliant time.
Oh also met @Smith and Sharp Gary and Sue there, nearly forgot, lovely meeting you two.
I will say having been coming here for a while now, and the Algarve is more busy than usual, you can't beat the proper Portugal, away from there, if the weather is dry.
We loved it. Back home in Javea next week. Bob and Janie.
P.S. Janie wants to point out that she loves goats but doesn't eat them. Nor anything else with legs....
