Algarve, Portugal - 1st May Bank Holiday 2008

For the first May bank holiday we thought it best to go somewhere we were pretty much guaranteed some sun, so we headed to Portugal. It was wonderful, a great resort, lots of sun and very warm! The resort was near Albufeira on the Algarve which has a great coastline with cliffs and beaches. From the resort we had access to the beach which was wonderfully long and made it feel like you weren't in a resort at all. We did absolutely nothing the whole weekend apart from lying on the beach and occasionally going for a walk along it. The water was a bit too cold for swimming, but that didn't matter. We both managed to relax completely so it wasn't too hard to head back to work on the Tuesday!
