Monday 31st August 

Afternoon 
Mellow hum 
Drowsy moments 
Overcome 
Bask and dream 
Close eyes tight 
In the sun's 
Dazzling light 
Tide recedes 
Distant shore 
Contentment knocks 
On our door 
Simple joy 
Pure and true 
Beneath skies 
Endless blue 

Love you so much

Sunday 30th August 

To Armona
From Olhao 
A ferry ride
That is how
Lunch on the sand 
Beside the sea
Sun shining down
On you and me 

Love you so much

#Ilha Da Armona

Saturday 29th August 

Sitting beside the water 
Waves lapping the wall 
So soporific 
Family is all 

Traditional lunch 
An octopus haul 
Where the locals sit  
A quiet footfall 

Sunlight dances bright 
Laughter does enthrall 
Moments like whispers 
Time doesn't recall 

Love you so much

Friday 28th August 

Where the Guadiana River 
Meets the open sea 
And Spain's horizon 
Is close to me 
There's Vila Real 
A gem quite bold 
A story in ancient 
Stones does unfold 
The far eastern Algarve 
A sun-kissed land 
Where gentle breezes 
Drift across the sand 

Love you so much

Thursday 27th August 

Chill music drifts on air so sweet 
A gentle rhythm, can't be beat
 
Swaying palms, a graceful dance 
In the soft breeze's sweet expanse 

Tropical vibes fill the air 
A magic only found out there 

Rattan chairs, a woven grace 
Inviting us to find our place 

Squishy cushions, soft and deep 
Where tired bodies go to sleep
 
The salt spray mingles with the air 
A perfect haven, beyond compare 

Here, time slows, a gentle flow 
Where true contentment starts to grow 

Love you so much

#Ferry to Ilha de Tavira 

Wednesday 26th August 

Cabanas de Tavira 
Charming place 
Answering nature's 
Gentle chase 
Terracotta tiles 
Rustic hue 
Offering shade 
For our crew 

Sunlight dapples 
Warm and bright 
Weathered wood 
Pleasant sight 
Boardwalk stretches 
Long and free 
Beside rippling 
Azure blue sea 

Love you so much 

xxxxx

Tuesday 25th August 

On Tavira's shore 
With sand so fine 
Bare feet sink 
A sweet design 

The gentle tide 
Laps and calls 
Washing free 
Crumbling walls 

A whispered breeze 
A salty spray 
Brings forth a calm 
To greet the day 

Sunbeams dance 
Golden gleam 
Waking from 
That sweet dream 

Each tiny shell 
A story told 
Of ages past 
Fragments of old 

The rhythm soft 
The ebb and flow 
Helps each spirit 
Truly grow 

Love you so much

Monday 24th August 

Wandering through aisles 
With morning light 
In search of treasures 
That feel just right 

By the afternoon 
Finding my place 
Beside the pool 
Calm on my face  

Watching clouds drift  
A lazy art 
Feeling a quiet joy 
Within my heart 

Love you so much

Sunday 23rd August 

The sun, a whisper 
Softly spills 
Across the window 
Through the sills 
A gentle warmth 
A muted gleam 
Awakening from 
Last night's dream

#Tavira 

Saturday 22nd August 

Rio Gilão 
A gentle flow 
Sunlit shallows 
Softly glow 
Skies above 
Azure blue 
Canvas painted 
Fresh and new 
No clouds to mar 
The endless light 
Just pure 
Unadulterated bright 

Love you so much 

xxxxx
