• When Saturday Comes ⚽️

    October 17 in Portugal ⛅ 18 °C

    🌞 We woke up to a lovely, beautiful morning, with the sun shining down on us as we enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. It was probably the nicest day of our holiday so far! ☀️😎
    That was until 3 o’clock, when I turned my attention to my phone 📱 to watch Leyton Orient take on Blackpool. ⚽️ It was shortly after the commentator remarked that Orient were there for the taking that they went and scored, ruining everything! 😫 To make matters worse, they eventually added a second goal, leaving us with a disappointing 2–0 defeat. ⚽️⚽️😪 So much for a perfect day!
    But before all the football drama, we enjoyed our usual walk into the Old Town after breakfast, mingling with the hordes of tourists who had arrived on the cruise ship Celebrity Xcel. 🚢 There were certainly plenty of people about!
    We made our way back towards the hotel along the slightly quieter promenade, with the football providing the entertainment for the afternoon. ⚽️📱 Looking behind my sunbed, I was very envious of the cat 🐈 that had slept all through the football match and wished I had done the same!!
    After our evening meal, we headed out for another stroll down by the marina to see if there was any entertainment happening. However, we didn't stay too long before making our way back to the hotel.
    And just like that, our penultimate day is over!

    Tomorrow is our last full day of the holiday.
    🌴☀️ Let's hope we make the most of it! 😊🍹
