Welcome to Portugal

After a day of travelling, I arrive at the resort called Solferia just after midnight. The next day I head into town early, to have a look around and hopefully find a vodafone so I can organise some internet. Took a wrong turn and it took more than an hour to find the town. It seemed like I was going back to the dark ages as there isn't a mobile phone shop.

A couple of hours in an internet cafe and I am back to the resort with 9 litres of water, a dozen beers and some juice. Happy to not get lost on the way back, I go down to the bar to make my way through every drink on the menu to celebrate my birthday.

Later on in the night, I get a huge surprise when a note, bottle of red, bar of chocolate and single rose arrive. Bronnie had organised the delivery and I was in shock, a fantastic surprise.

I spend the rest of the night drinking with a young couple and there 2 children from not to far out of Manchester. They were great value and were even happy to have a quick chat to Bronnie when she called.
