Our Portuguese Adventure - Day 7

We woke up to another cloudy day but headed off for our morning walk regardless and Henry soon fell asleep for his morning nap whilst we tucked into our pastries and coffees. Once he was awake we decided to go to the play park on the beach for a while, but having only been there for about 5 minutes, the heavens opened and we had to put Henry's rain cover over his pushchair and run back to the apartment!! Great. 

We made the most of it though and snuggled up together, watched the Gruffalo and read our books. It was actually really lovely not to be rushing anywhere or doing anything. The sun came out so we headed outside to the pool and Henry had a swim which he really loved today. We'd only been out there about 15 minutes when the rain started again so we packed up all our stuff and came in again!! Mr B went to pick some lunch up (another whole barbecued chicken) and afterwards we played inside before all going down for an early nap.

Luckily once we woke up it had stopped raining so we went out to the pool and had a lovely hour of blue skies and sunshine and Henry played in the pool and with some little friends in the park by the pool. Hopefully the weather will stay nice for tomorrow, not sure I fancy another cloudy day!!

We got showered and ready for dinner and walked right round to the other side of the bay where the fishermen were all just returning from a day at sea. Henry enjoyed watching the tractor unloading the nets and cages and especially loved the stray cats hoping for a scrap of fish!!

We went to a little pizzeria which was lovely and they even made Henry his own pizza without cheese which he was pleased about. He ate his weight in garlicky olives and bread too so he was full up when we left. We went straight to the park for him to have a little play and then to a bar near our flat which had a live singer tonight. Henry enjoyed playing peekaboo with a random lady on another table and I enjoyed a couple of glasses of sangria while Mr B had a few beers. Henry had an ice lolly (his first of the day, at 9pm!) and then we came home for Henry to get to bed. We are going to have a few games of cards then we'll be off to bed too. A really lovely day despite the clouds and grey skies!!
