March 21st – Tavira

Another non-adventure to get some early Spring sunshine. Tavira is only about half an hour from Faro on the Algarve.

No COVID tests required at either end, and just to show normality returns it took about 45 minutes to get through security at Stansted. Good job we were there early 😂.

Anyway, lovely house on a smallholding with a pond that you can swim in (haven’t braved it yet).

The noise from the frogs is deafening at times. Also bats, dragonflies and terrapins seem to like it.

As well as the tame peacocks

And the ridiculously friendly wild (one-eyed) cat who follows you like a dog.
