The birders had to leave me behind......family hiccups......but I changed my flight and here I am, in The Algarve....and it's bliss....
They picked me up at the airtport in time for the National Day...and what a day!
We have had free entertainment all over Tavira......traditional dancing....then a meal and pint of Guinness and tonight was bliss beyond belief...
A wonderful concert in the square and then to a bar with a fantastic band....I have danced and sung with people from all over the world to The Stones....The Eagles... Pink Floyd.....I have celebrated with the Portuguese.......and chatted with a wonderful German man who has cycled from Germany.....
Honestly....if I wasn't Irish I'd want to be Portuguese.....they are beautiful people......
Even the lady whose hand I squashed badly when I was leaning on a lampost was so nice......once she'd recovered.....
Thanks, Mamya......tonight was bliss....but now it's birding which will be bliss too......fantastic birds to see here.....and that's what I love about coming here.......x
Well, I'm up all night, Dave..the music is still going on...but "get lucky"?.... Nah........just fun and friendly folk.......xx
