A short trip of just under 200 miles from Lisbon to The Algarve. The Algarve is known as one of the best “winter” locations for the “Brits”. I would say that what we have seen so far, that is a true statement. English is THE spoken language here. It was an easy trip coming down, and kind of reminded us of driving along the last part of the trip into Longbeach. Once we got here, we headed straight for the grocery store. Our stock of food had just about depleted. Finding the campground was one of the easiest yet. All we had to do was follow the road straight in toward the town and 2 km out was our campground. Now this is what you might call “over-kill” in regards to security. We both have ID cards that we have to put into a slot to get in and out of the gates. If we take the van out (which we wont), we have a card for it as well. Everything has to be paid up front, including $21 Euros for the 3 cards (refundable). They have 2 huge waterslides, 2 pools, a large and active restaurant, nice grocery store, and a young lady at the front desk that has a “don’t give a … attitude”. The toilet/shower blocks are the best we have had yet…and there is a lady that is constantly in there cleaning and polishing. To top that off, we are getting all this for less than $15 a day. Louise went and checked out the wash machines and is all excited about them as well. I can just tell, tomorrow is going to be laundry day
