Well, back from Portugal, and I have to say it was one of the cheapest holidays I have been on in the last 10 years. Madeira is a world of it's own. Quite stunning. Lisbon was a little more hectic but I did manage to take in the Fado festival (Portuguese folk music best described as a kind of longing to return home) in Alfama over the last couple of days and it was quite an experience. There's a lot to see in Lisbon. I only got to see a fraction of what I intended to. Still a great trip and a place I would like to return to at some future date. Oh well, party over, back to work.................(weep weep).
