Went to the TIC in Silves this morning for the local gen to find there is a Hans Christian Anderson exhibition on in the town. I know I am not at at all learned in the culture stuff but was surprised to see the kind of work he did. Really interesting.
Spent a bit of time looking around the town and searching for a Valentine card and present for my Valentine. Obviously can't reveal what I got, but suffice to say that we have not travelled very far from Silves today and I think we will be going back tomorrow!
Visited Porches Pottery at Porches, which makes hand made Portugese style stuff in all shapes and patterns, and then on to Portimao where we had heard the council has turned a car park in the marina into an Aire for €2 a day. Water is €1.50 for 100 litres and there is a drain for grey water etc. so ideal for us travelling through. Hundreds of vans here as usual. Some people been here for months just getting out of the weather back home!
We went off in search of a bar and started off walking around the marina. So came across the swankiest bar in town. All La Di Da, white curved leather settees, big ship's lights with candles, and white marble floor and everything? And with a beautiful view over the bay, ( well, in the dark!). Anyway, JC was so impressed, he booked a table for tomorrow night. The old romantic!
