Another day on the golf course – BORING! Not. Today we travelled to the Old Course, which was a short distance away. Frank Pennink designed parkland style layout is one of the oldest in the region and it was like being at Augusta, narrow trees surrounded by Pine trees with massive […]
Today we ventured out to Vilamoura Marine, it was another hot day – we managed to persuade pat to join us. Everything is catered to the English tourist, with Pub meals, full english breakfasts and all the premiership games televised. The marina itself was full with gorgeous yachts of all […]
John and I were playing golf at Vale do Lobo, the rest of the gang were going to the beach for the morning. It is another gorgeous day, all the family are still getting on well and there have been no fall outs. Vale do Lobo golf is a short […]
Another day in paradise, we had our re-scheduled tee off time at 9:20am at Quinta do Lago – Laryngal course. It was great having breakfast by the pool, before golf. For the first time we turned right out of the property – which was a first and once again it […]
Oops! John realised that it was Monday and we should have been playing golf at 9:20am. You know that you are having a good holiday when you don’t even know what day it is. Luckily we could re-schedule – so no dramas. As Jack was so into his golf we […]

It was great to catch up with the family, it was a lazy day acclimatising and getting to know Jack and Sam. Shopping, washing, swimming, splashing, unpacking and hanging about. The villa is great – the bed was more comfortable than it appeared and the shower wasn’t as bad as […]
With the aid of a few glasses of Portuguese Red, we both had a good nights rest, in a very comfortable bed, we went for breakfast in our hotel. We loved everything about this hotel and it didn’t stop with the breakfast, which you could eat indoors or outdoors on the terrace. […]
It was an early start today with an 8am tee off time at Jumeriah Earth Course. which in Johns research was ranked in the Top 100 courses in the world. We went with high expectations. We were very enthusiastic as this was the earliest tee off time we could get […]
This is settling in day, we should still be jet lagged and having irregular sleeping patterns – but NO we managed to sleep a good 9 hours even though we both got up about 4 times to pee as we had drunk that much water yesterday! Great news and a […]
