The beach in Milfontes

Wednesday 21st July 

The beach in Milfontes 
We found a perfect spot 
Beneath shady umbrellas 
Blue skies, certainly hot
A super relaxing day 
You'd have liked it a lot

Early morning walking down the street
Beer on the beach
A gorgeous day
Luke tests the water
Umbrellas for shade
Not too many here
Lots of sunscreen
Beach parasols
Looking towards the town
Great shade
A relaxing place
A lone kitesurfer
Tidal rock pools
Hot in the sun
Across to Milfontes
Umbrellas again
The town beach
I like being on holiday
Busier after lunch
Room for everyone
Milfontes Castle

Walking along the cobbled streets of Porto Covo
Fishing boats
One of the many sandy coves
Clear seas
Coastal paths are very close to the edge of the cliffs
Great rock formations
Deserted secret beaches
A difficult scramble down
Gulleys and crevices
The view from the Magic Cactus, above Praia de Vale Figueiros
Very quiet when we arrived
A perfect shady spot
With cold beers
Our umbrellas and windbreaks below the beach bar
A quick walk down to the sea, which was a little cool
Looking south
Looking north
Our place on the sand
The bat and ball kids

Never end

Monday 12th July 

I do still feel the pain 
A broken heart won't mend 
But I also feel the love 
And that'll never end

Sweetheart Angel son 
Now forever young 
xxxxx
Quite warm this morning
A very quick walk along the harbour this afternoon
Lots of holidaymakers
Low tide
Some of these people don’t know how quickly the tide comes in
Many have been caught out on the sandbank as the sea rushes around them
