Vacaciones en Espana y Portugal

Okay, so I've abandoned my blog a bit recently, but the life of a homemaker isn't always exciting. However, we did just get back from holiday in Spain on Monday (and just in time with the news out this morning).

Charly having a swim on the balcony in the dinghy.

At the pool.






Myles' friend Chris came with us.



On the beach in Portugal.

Charlotte wasn't too sure about the texture of the sand.




It was more fun to pull Daddy's chest hair.


And she certainly did not like the water!


Myles decided to dig a hole to bury Chris.







On the ferry to Villa Real in Portugal.
We spent a lot of time in Portugal because it was only minutes away.



There's some sort of wreck in the water behind.



The boys setting the time on their new bling watches.

A surfing bull?


At the restaurant.


Notice the empty restaurant, we were a bit early. It was about 8pm, the Spaniards and Portuguese don't go out for the night until about 10 or 11. It was full by the time we left.



This is Chris opening a packet of butter all over his face!
He and Myles shared some disgusting pot of seafood and rice, full of sea insects (lobster, prawns, mussels and crawfish or something gross), yuck! They loved it though.

Chris and Caroline arrived the day before we left.

She was a good girl, playing pat-a-cake.


And some others...

The view from the balcony.

Mmmm.

Oh, yeah - we've been here in England a year today, can you believe it?

We're off to Jersey on Sunday. Matthew managed to schedule a job there so we're going along with him. I'll try to take some photos.
