Clear blue sky, and late 20’s; time to do a summer holiday at the beach – ie sit on it in costume, under parasol, full suntan lotion, be prepared to go in the water. What a perfect beach. It’s a little boat ride across the river – part of the Ria Formosa nature reserve area for 1.50 eu return, and then just glorious. And I actually went into the Atlantic, and then dried off without sitting under the parasol.
