Alvor

Alvor – Rogers favourite ! A nice protected river inlet with a typical little Portuguese fishing village up river. We negotiated the sandbanks at mid flood tide to correct any mistakes we may have made. Almost! the depth read 1.2m at one stage and Jen on the bow looking for sandbanks redirected me into the channel We had hoped to swim on arrival at is was HOT, but unfortunately the murky water and strange floating black creatures..jellyfish or squid or..something, made us change plans and head for the nearby beach in the dinghy. Much nicer! Beautiful clear water and a nice cool down we really needed (Balrog as well)

On the way home we stopped at the marina cafe and our eyes were bigger than our stomachs (Almost!) as we ploughed through

Vegitarian Pizza

goat cheese, rocket and honey salad – YUM !

chicken breast w/ mushroom sauce

tomato w/ fetta and balsamic

Yum yum yum!

back to Sephina on twighlight for a much needed rest (after all the food)

 

We stayed as couple of nights then decided to move on down the coast to Portimao, only about 5 miles.
