• Day 29 - The Ashes Continue

    July 10, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    As it was Sunday we got to the beach early to ensure a parking space & our chosen spot on the beach. We needn’t have rushed because a cool wind was blowing in from the Atlantic, which seemed to have dissuaded some people.

    We however remained on the beach all day listening to England’s slightly nervy, but exciting victory in the 3rd Test, meaning England are still in with a shout of winning the Ashes. Otherwise not a lot to report other than the Spanish couple from Madrid sat fairly close to us. She was a chunky lass, but it didn’t stop her being topless all day flouncing around up & down the beach. Oh, and Jackie stroked a naked man’s.………………dog!

    Having literally eaten nothing all day, apart from a packet of crisps with our lunchtime wine, we went back to the bar with the expensive craft beers for a homemade pizza. We ordered an Inferno pizza to share and a normal beer each. Jackie ate 3/8ths of the cheese, mushroom, tomato, spicy salami & Tabasco pizza, whilst I ate the rest. We were both stuffed & surely must be losing weight, particularly as every other diner managed to devour a whole pizza each.
