Discussions regarding holidays in the Algarve
Loved the picture and can only wish!

We will be visiting Albuferia at the beginning of September for a week to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday! This will be our first time in Albufeira and only our second 'girlie' holiday! Any advice would be great. what to do, where to go etc! We are staying at the Hotel California which I understand is very central in the old town!

For the attention of Jayjan( or anyone else from the Northwest who's thinking of a winter trip to the Algarve )............. have a look at EasyJet's prices from Liverpool;I've just booked return flights for December for the two of us for less than £84. :D :D The other half wants me to spend some of what we've saved on the Executive lounge, but, knowing my luck, I'd get caught trying to smuggle drinks out to her !! :rofl :rofl

Ooooooops :lol: :lol: Got flamed on the Tenerife forum below for stating that I thought the south part of the island was like "Blackpool in the sun". Probably an unwise thing to say there. :lol:
Anyway back here to civilisation. :D

could you please let me know where it can now be found.
Also, if you happen to have the 'phone number of the young lady who now appears at this web address.......... :rofl :lol: :lol:

The following message now shows on the webcam site :
The Algarve Webcam
Due to technical problems the Webcam
is not currently working. A replacement is on its way & hopefully it will be up & running very soon.

....it goes on to give the young lady's phone number as well, but you wouldn't want me to give that, would you ? :rofl :rofl

Just had a delivery of two cases of red from those nice people at Laithwaites, so I can get started on my rigorous training schedule leading up to the 10th. :glynis :D
Last September,as I recall, there were lots of H.T. members going to various parts of the Algarve at the same time, and I think it was Mad Mick who tried to organise a get-together which,unfortunately fell through.I know Pat will be out there in September and I think I read somewhere that Glynis is going back again, but is that it for this September, or is anyone else out there ??

Glynis is going to Cabanas......bet she'll be hooked......will be interesting to get her views as she loved Lagos :lol:
We are heading out 13th (thurs) Sept - 27th and we will be meeting up with friends who live in Algoz.
Maybe we can organise something. :ghug .......Mad Mick........where are you :hmmm
It really would be wonderful to put faces to familiar names......not to mention the competition to see who can handle the most" Sagres" :rofl or vinho tinto :rofl
No, Sagres, don't think Mrs Sagres will want to visit Luz to see the young lady from the webcam..... :tut

No, Sagres, don't think Mrs Sagres will want to visit Luz to see the young lady from the webcam

...... she wasn't going to be invited !!! :shock: ..... anyway, the young lady in question has disappeared and is to be replaced by a new webcam which is on order.

Not seen mad mick around the forums of late, anybody know how he is? . Thinkin of flying from Manchester to Lisbon in November & hiring a car to drive down to Albufeira. Flights with thomsonfly at this present time are £98 return for the two of us and £75 for a car. Jet2 & easy jet are a lot lot more expensive to fly into Faro. Cheers Jayjan
