We left the house at 3am, dropped Ellie off at Rhys’s and then Rhys drove us to Gatwick. We met up with our friends Paula and Gilly who we were going on holiday with.
It was a very good flight with a comedian for a pilot. He was really funny. We arrived 15 minutes earlier than we should have done which was a bonus. We then got on the coach to take us to the Pestana Hotel, where we have stayed before. The rooms were ready as we arrived at 12.15, so were able to take our cases up and then back down for lunch and a much needed drink! However we had forgotten just how much spirit they put in the drinks. I think mine was more gin than tonic!
We have rooms next door to each other and we are over looking the small pool.
It is so nice to be back here and listening to the sound of the waves.
One of the staff brought this to our room, as we have stayed before…….nice!
We all had a bit of a siesta in the afternoon and then went down for dinner. It is nice here as it is all inclusive and you can have bottles of wine on the table or drinks from the bar. We have to keep in mind that their spirit measures are probably quadruple what you would get at home. Just love watching the sun set over the sea.
They had a singer performing but we spent the evening out on the terrace, not indoors. Just as well as I think we got quite loud and we were almost the last to bed!
We sleep with the patio door open listening to the waves.
