Where's Bertie? He's still at the Aire in Castro Marim.
Weather: Wall-to-wall sunshine this morning, but increasingly cloudy and grey this afternoon.
When we got out of bed this morning, it was with the intention of moving on. Breakfast was had, then in the middle of getting everything stowed, the fancy took me that we should stay and do the walk that I mentioned yesterday. Mick was willing, so here we still are.
The walk turned out to be worthwhile, and the road sections not as bad as anticipated. The mile or so at the beginning turned out to have a cycle path running alongside for part of the distance, and wasn't busy in any case; the half-mile or so at the end was less pleasant.
A salt mountain so big as to dwarf the JCB-type digger nestled within it.
Looking over to the forts of Castro Marim, over the heads of flamingos.
After lunch we ventured out again, to see if we could find any information about the audio tour around the village. We've seen quite a few numbered audio tour points during our wanderings, but not any information giving details as to whether it's a downloadable tour, or if you have to go and hire handsets from somewhere. That quest ended when we found the Tourist Office has temporarily left the Tourist Office building, and I couldn't quite be moved to hunt out its new location, within some other civic building.
I'm pretty sure that we have now exhausted what this village has to offer, so with some certainty I shall repeat what I said yesterday: tomorrow, we will move on!
