Albuferia Postcards Part 2

Well it has taken me ages to put up the second part of this post, better late than never! Albuferia is a city in the Algarve, Portugal, where we went last summer for our holiday.

The recollections of this place/holiday are as follows:

It was extremely hot (for me and my mother)
The old part was a 20 min walk from our hotel and in that heat it was torture!
Some of town was interesting, away from the tourist bits
There were some fabulous views of the sea
We went on a wonderful dolphin spotting boat trip
It was unfortunate that we were not able to visit Faro for the day.
The marina was very colourful indeed.

This year Alessio and I, along with my father are going again to Portgual, but this time to The Azores! Alessio and I will also have 4 days in Porto too and my dad will be seeing what Lisbon has to offer.

Wishing you all a great weekend!

Albuferia Postcards! Part 1

Our summer holiday this year was in Portugal in the Algarve, in a town called Albuferia, which was about 45mins from Faro. We met up with my parents and also my sister Elena, her husband Mark and their kids Liam and Jamie. Alessio was really happy to get the chance to see his cousins as it doesn`t happen that often.

The hot weather which we had been having in Switzerland was also in Portugal so therefore some of us were suffering from the heat.

The boys all had a ball playing in the pool and in the ocean too, the hotel was situated about 20mins walk to the old part of the town. This usually proved to be effort to get there as we always ate earlish and it was still very hot to wonder down to the town.

We had a trip on a boat to see dolphins and the coastal area which I will post about later and that turned out to be a real blast. I still have more photos of the town so check out part 2 in the coming weeks!
