Albufeira's beaches today

A rather incongruous sight, 48 hours after the storm. Today at 1230 ish.

11th November

wonderful so pleased to see things back the way they were.

There's an awful lot of debris on Falesia Beach just now, especially along the very back of the beach due no doubt to a combination of the recent rain washing rubbish down from the cliffs, coupled with high tides and rough seas.
At times like this during the Winter it's amazing what you can find in a small area - 100 yards long x 5 yards wide.
Half a dozen fishing baskets/traps, numerous plastic water bottles (from 50cl to 5l), drinking straws of various colours, part of a toy clearly marked "Fisher-Price", a variety of Coca-Cola & other drink cans, a metal parasol (pole & frame) but completely devoid of any material, one black plastic beach bat (broken), two wooden beach bats (different designs) both minus handles, one "England Flag" design flip-flop, lots of drift wood/tree roots/branches/bamboo, several items of clothing including a pair of white pants (thought to be male but I didn't look too closely), one wooden pallet (almost new & completely intact), a dead but very smelly mackerel, an unpeeled banana and a bicycle seat.

I think I shall go down to the beach later, camera poised. I shall look for cars and jellyfish!

Gale, lunch time today, just glorious, no other word or words, just glorious.

Sorry Col! (but not very sorry! )

Andrew...To save me a lot of pedal power on the bike can you tell me if the restaurant up on the height open this winter.
