Re: Prevalence of mushrooms in Portuguese dishes
Have been coming to the Algave for 20 years and cant say that I have seen any mushrooms in restuarant food? I am Celiac and hence have a gluton alergy, which can make me violently ill if I consume any gluton. However, most restuarants have waiters who speak very good english. I have managed to eat o...

Re: Trees
They definitely have been replaced, had a good look at them and they are much shorter and bushier than the old trees were.
Bases also a different colour and in a better condition.

Re: Tivoli Refurbishment
Just drove past and it is still very much a building site, if it is going to open on the 10th. April then there are going to be lots of complaints. Who wants to pay for a 5 star hotel which is still under construction, it will be like the old days, when you booked a holiday in Spain and found yourse...

Bikinis in Intermarche
I am certainly no prude, but finding young ladies shopping while wearing bikinis, in Itermarche this afternoon was realy not acceptable. This is some distance from the beach and I wonder if they would shop in their local supermaket at home, in the same attire?

Re: Trees
They were only missing for 48 hours. I saw them being loaded onto a lorry and taken away. Two days later they were back, not sure if they have been replaced or just spruced up as the bases are a different colour.

Contribution to GNR
We decided to go to Ponto De Encontro for early lunch yesterday, tried to turn left after Vimar on the usual route, but found road blocked? So went back down restuarant hill and turned up past the Market to head back round to the restuarant. Again the road was blocked off so went further on and made...

Re: Car rental, yes again.
Steen runs this website and algarvedriver, see ad at top of page. It is part of YOR. I have used them many times over the past 20 years and have no complaints. I am booked with them for next month. Why not give them a try?

Re: Under-sink water purifier
I think you will find that water does not "go off" in a sealed container. Glass bottles of water do not normally have expiry dates on them, but plastic bottles of water do have. This is because after a while the plastic starts to degrade and then chemicals leach into the water, making it unpalatable...

Re: taxi to ferragudo
Try this link http://www.mycarvoeiro.com/taxi-fares/4532835692
But watch out the fares are not quite in line, at first glance it looks like 90 Euros each way, but don't worry closer inspection shows 15 Euros. The 90 is for Faro.
