We went for a long walk but there was no getting Henry to sleep today, he was having none of it!! We went for our usual coffee and natas but had to stuff the pastries in while he wasn't looking and ordered him melon instead because unfortunately natas are egg and dairy heaven! He was a good boy though, and after a long walk and another coffee stop, we came home for lunch. I made us all salad and then Henry and Daddy had a nap while I read my book.
Once Henry was awake, about 2:30, we went down to the pool for a few hours and played in the pool and on the grass. Although it had been a cloudy start this morning, the sun came out this afternoon and the skies were bright blue. Once Henry started to get a bit fidgety we headed down to the beach where he had a lovely hour building sandcastles and burying Daddy's feet in the sand. He wore his sunglasses all afternoon and everyone kept looking at him and smiling because he looked so cute. We had an ice lolly on the beach and then went to a bar on the front for a drink. Henry befriended a little fluffy white dog called Missy while we were there; to say he loved her would be an understatement. Tonight when we were out he kept looking round saying "Miss? Miss?" in the hope that he'd spot her again! So cute. He played with her for a while, we all had a drink and then came back to get ready for dinner.
We decided to go back to Boca do Mar again as it's been our favourite restaurant and definitely the poshest, so it seemed fitting for our last night. I had garlic pork fillet and Mr B had swordfish, both were amazing. Henry was an absolute star and we finished off by taking him to the park and having our last ever holiday ice cream, boo hoo.
We're now all packed and in the morning plan on getting up, getting showered and sorted and then head off to do our morning routine one more time (long walk, get Henry to sleep, coffees and natas and then come home) before leaving for the airport at 11am. We've loved every minute of our holiday, we are both leaving so relaxed and happy, Henry has been an absolute angel child (apart from the two mini-tantrums about not being allowed to take the fly swat out for dinner) and we will most definitely be back to Portugal, if not Sao Martinho in the near future. The Portuguese people honestly couldn't be nicer, it is the most child friendly and safest place I've ever been to and everyone we've met has been so so lovely.
Normal blog service will resume tomorrow - What I Ate Wednesday (diet editions due to massive holiday weight gain!) moaning about lack of sleep, more school holiday photos and leading up to weaning from the boob (totally dreading that one). But I'm not thinking about any of that for now, so here is our last set of holiday snaps from paradise...
