Our dear friends Mike and Sam had been nagging us to visit them in Ferragudo  for quite some time. We booked the trip to Ferragudo on-line and caught a taxi to the Lisbon bus station. The bus trip to Portimao was comfortable but long, and to some extent scary, because at times travelling on the motorway the bus driver was reading a book while the bus automatically kept itself in the lane.

We finally arrived and while we were collecting our luggage the lovely vision of Sam appeared in my view. She excitedly drove us to their villa in Ferragudo, and what a lovely spot they have, only a couple of kilometers from the beach. 🏝️  Having moved here from London two years ago they are very happy here.
