The first (in this series) of many backblips.
Up at 4am.
Flight at 6.45am. (well it would have been but some unfortunate lady became ill on the runway and the whole family had to be carted off in an ambulance)
11am Taxi to Faro town.
By 12.30 I was sitting in the Rio Formosa on a little blue boat with a pair of binoculars.

This is what holidays are for.
