Santa Barbara de Nexe, Portugal : 5th April - 12th April 2008
The Woolleys took a short break in the Algarve in a rented villa. The weather was.... fairly awful though we did get a little bit of sunshine. Despite this, we had fun together and that's what counts :-)

The Villa
Fun in the (freezing!) pool
The pool was nice... but the water was really, really cold! Still, Martin, Bekky and Jack all spent time in it regardless of the weather. As you can see from the last two pics, Jack and Martin even swam in the pouring rain.
Flora
Fun and Games
Our evenings were often spent playing games at the villa...
Out and about
On the odd occassion when the rain held off, we explored.....
Windows and doors
...and whilst exploring, Martin photographed various windows and doors.... to the complete bewilderment of the others!
Surfaces
Another of Martin's photographic obsessions is close-ups of various surfaces or other textured items. It takes all sorts.....
Zoo Marine
Bekky *insisted* we go to a local theme park/aquarium called Zoo Marine. It did sound like it had potential.... but then so did the "chicken cakes" that Bekky also insisted we buy. Zoo Marine turned out to be over-priced and fairly lame and we left after two hours and over a 100 Euros. Not recommended unless you've never been to anything like this and so have nothing to compare it to! Sea World this is not!
