We were up fairly bright and early and popped out to Camperserv to get our spares from a very harried David, as he dealt with a brace of motor-homers looking for spares.
We then headed off into the marina at Vilamoura; the entire town (the part we saw) comprises fancy golf courses, fancy hotels, fancy houses and fancy yachts; definitely not our thing. To be fair, we were a bit rushed so didn't walk very far around the marina so probably didn't give it a fair crack at the whip but I think we had seen enough to know it isn't for us.
The joy of motorhoming is that we can move on to the next place, or find a better spot that's more suited to us - we really like that! And, as is probably becoming quite apparent - bright lights, big cities and lots of people (and consumerism) just isn't our 'thing'; we seem to thrive more in the small villages and open countryside....definitely food for thought for our future plans...
Interesting to see though, that there were loads of sailing teams in the marina, presumably preparing for the sailing carnival week in February.
We found our way back to the Aire, had something to eat and I replaced the Sog unit fan which turned out to be very easy. Tomorrow we'll move on, probably back-tracking a bit to the area where we were near Olhão.
