Porto Santo

Porto Santo - 3rd October to 11th October.

This place is really something. Fantastic beach next to the marina. We did lots of surfing and the waves ate Ethans goggles and my sun glasses. We are still finding the sand even now.

The marina had a really good spirit, so much so that we arranged a beach BBQ one night and people delayed leaving until the next day to come.

There was lots of children of different nationalities, French, German, Sweedish, Norweigan and Irish.

The wall was covered with pictures so we had to do ours too. Ethan designed this one and Olivers design will be completed in Gran Canaria.

We were treated to a night out just Russ and I thanks to a lovely dutch lady called Hanneka on Nelly Rose, offering to babysit. It was a real treat. Her duaghter had spent 3 years circumnavigating with 2 small children and said the thing she most missed was going out just the 2 of them. We were so appreciative, it was nice to get dressed up and go out, even if it did seem a bit weird as we have been inseperable as a family for 2 months solid. We ate limpits which i can definetly say i will not be eating again, but we were curious to what they tasted like.

We took a 2 hour bus tour of the island and that was about it. There was not really much to do but chill out. Pure bliss.....
