Monday 25 February - Silves

Where's Bertie? Incredibly, he's still in Silves, for a seventh consecutive night.

Weather: Still glorious sunshine, but a bit cooler and breezier than yesterday.

Our decision to stay yet another night in Silves was made entirely on the basis of wanting to have lunch at the place that had been recommended to us (the one that we would have visited yesterday save for it not serving its Menu del Dia on a Sunday). How disappointed we then found ourselves, having already paid for an extra night, to find the cafe closed.

A wander was had around the rest of the town, but nothing appealed, except maybe a repetition of yesterday's lunch, so toasties in Bertie it was.

On the face of it, the extra day wasn't a complete write-off, in that we made a final use of the running track around the riverside park, and I took the opportunity to hand wash a few more things. It was only at the end of the day that we came to realise quite how expensive that extra night had been: during the day someone nicked off with my sports bra from the communal washing line!

It's an odd item to have taken, and I would very much like to think that it was accidental - but the bra was pegged in the middle of a line that contained only our washing, so it's difficult to see how someone could confuse it for their own. Moreover, the pegs that had been holding it had been repositioned onto other items of ours.

How very annoying! But, no point crying over spilt milk, and at least there's a Decathlon not far from the route we'll be driving tomorrow.
