Seven of us descended on Mega Fundeira in a VW Transporter in sweltering heat. We bought provisions on the way in Figueiro dos Vinhos and off-loaded everyone at Casa da Ribeira. Our white bodies blinded the locals. Hurn and Hayley had come prepared for the stony river bed as you can see by their water shoes. | The boys, Jay, Thomas and Sam, had brought 5 snorkel masks with them and a couple of snorkels. | The clear water was an ideal spot to search the river bed for a rare fish. |
We made good use of having a large vehicle and drove to Parc Montego retail park. With Hurn doing the packing, we managed to fit in a table, six chairs and a 4-seater and table set for the roof terrace (see below). | With the area cleared of logs, we were able to sit outside, shaded by the terrace roof, whenever we wanted. It did mean that we were greeting every passerby with either 'bom dia' or 'boa tarde' according to the time of day. |
More to come ..... |
