A Beautiful Trip To Portugal

in #photography9 years ago

We went to Portugal for my wife's 60th Birthday and thought I would share the photographs and experience we had.

We had never been but found this place so tranquil and stayed at The Vidamar Resort and Spa in Albuifera.

I had arranged Champagne and Chocolate cake and we put cards and display on our balcony overlooking the pool

Lovely view from our room

View with private walk to our Beach

Boat ride to see Dolphins and Caves which was awesome and so fast

Very nice trip. I'm Portuguese and know all that places (well not the Resort, unfortunately)! I love Albufeira beaches and the Vilamoura Marina. I can't wait for Summer to be here! Thanks for sharing that experience with us

Thanks Rmach. We have travelled extensively over the years yet for some strange reason we had never been to Portugal. We fell in love with this Country, so clean and green. Vila moura was awesome and now are seriously contemplating to retire there in a few years time if I can afford it as quite pricey. Many thanks for your feedback and following

Yes, many people from all over the world choose the Algarve region to retire and Vilamoura is a top destination. My father lives nearby and I go there whenever I can.

There I was contemplating the place while at the phone.

Beautiful shots and your wife is great in front of the camera too!

Hi Ian! This is so beautiful. You have a lovely wife and she is lucky to have you! Your pictures are wonderful. That swimming pool looks so amazing! You would not have been able to get me out of it. I am quite jealous now...lol...would've loved to travel there one day.

Hi Yvette.. Have never been there in all my life however ticks all the boxes for me when I retire. Lovely and no loud football British morons . Let them stay in Spain. Very cultured and classy but not cheap unfortunately but you pay the price for quality

Ha ha...you and I think the same about football enthusiasts. You should do that. At least then I might have a chance of coming to visit!😀

Oh and I am very classy so I would fit right in!!! 😁

We have never met and yet I look to you for guidance on Steemit and you always help. and I feel very close to you and I care ,and I bet you are very classy . You are a lovely lady. If only .
Thanks Yvette

It is good to have friends on Steemit. It builds a great community. Thank you Ian... I truly feel the same way. I do care...this platform and the people I meet here feels like family and is extremely important to me!

We're portuguese too, I'm glad you liked our Algarve's beaches, they're beautiful :) Lousã Mountains is where we live, it is also a breathtaking landscape:

many thanks. The mountains looks stunning, so lovely
