The POWER of Portugal

So here we are in the midst of the second leg of the World Trip, three days and three nights spent in a heavenly resort located in Alvor. It's been a different type of adventure compared to the past three years, there was nothing much to explore apart from the local high street and supermarket. Yet the days were not wasted one bit, spent burning by the pool, getting the BBQ going and then going out in the evenings to meet anyone and everyone.

This was all courtesy of Jack England's family who we shall always be heavily indebted to and forever hoping for an invite back... It was like being in an episode of MTV cribs and I could definitely get used to that life. We explored the customary Irish bar with a bit of karaoke and ventured out to Praia da Rocha just South in Portimão. As always, scousers make friends and we soon found company for the nights out, much to the delight of the group and after a hard and long night of drinking there is nothing better than jumping into the pool after getting back.

Heartbreakers of Alvor

There's nothing much to report apart from the major chilling we've done and the excessive cooking on the BBQ all thanks to the skills of Mike Wilson. We've also realised through experience that hangovers are significantly reduced when you have the pool and sun to just base off. As much as we want to just stay here and never leave, there is one thing or more accurately one person worth leaving for.

That is Phil Boy Crawley who has been lucky enough to live in Sevilla for the past year and is paroviding the hospitality for the four days. It may not be the 5 star standards that we've been used to, but the company of one of the original travellers is more than sufficient compensation.

It's going to be slightly surreal returning to the place where the first adventure started, if only the holy trinity could have been here, I'll be thinking of you Victor & Gary.
