Alenquer Day 3

Slideshow made with Smilebox

Day 3 – 2nd July Well today I woke up to some clouds and a little breeze, got breakfast ready and tidied the things a little whilst the gang still slept. We went down to the pool as the sun did appear but it wasn’t as hot as the other days and so we came inside and played games like fifa (rafa and hubby), Nadine and I played snooker (I won  ) and Mom did some crossword puzzles. I did some washing too (ja a Mom always has work) and then we had lunch. After lunch we went to the Vila of Alenquer…we went to the convento and looked for the castle but it was just some bits and pieces of the old walls. We looked around and took some pictures as can be seen below. Back at the house Rafa and hubby went cycling up the hills and I went down to the pool to sun tan a little, Nadine joined me later. Oh and I decided to clean the pool as there were lots of leaves in it as can be seen from the pics, the pool is surounded by bushes and trees. Huuby and rafa also came to join us and we just fooled around. After dins we (hubby, Rafa and I) went into town for some coffe and delicious croissants at A Calçadinha. Next we played trivial and snooker and believe be we are all very ready for bed. :=)

Day 2 – 1st July Well lets say that I didn’t have a very restful night as I had big fights with the pillow  eventually I decided to go and get a cushion from the lounge, but even so the bed was bloody hard  As I wasn’t happy in bed I got up early and came and look out of the sliding doors at the gorgeous views, wow how lucky we are. The weather didn’t look so great as yesterday but I’m sure it will turn out well. Made breakfast and then hubby and I went to do some grocery shopping and when we got back it was pool time again. I didn’t go into the pool but the kids did and they said the water wasn’t as warm as yesterday. Hubby prepared our braai whilst I did the other things. Now we’re resting a little, the kids are playing cards with grandma and I’m catching up on the blog…more later. Well hi again, we’ve just had another wonderful afternoon in the sun and pool, I’ve also watered the garden, and yes it deserves a meantion as this place is massive  For din dins we had the left-overs from lunch and we played snooker and cards. After our coffee we watched a movie (for me it was a rewatch), Rafa played fifa which he cannot miss  Now it’s off to bed for a desrved rest. Yeah isn’t it funny that when my Family is supposedly on holiday we seem to be so much more active 
