Re: train to Lisbon
Last time we used the Alfa Pendular we went from Tunes, not too far from Silves and usually plenty of free parking next to the station. Best to buy tickets in advance on line or at the station. I believe my over 60's return was about 25 Euros and Gill's a bit more. These were 1st class. As far as I ...

Re: Terracos da Vigia , who knows about?
Hi cvo_81 I believe you are correct that these have been sold. Just had confirmation from the agents who were, I assume, acting for the bank. They are Janela Virtual, http://www.janelavirtual.pt. Pity. Interesting to see what happens to them now. Thank you for your response regarding electrical good...

Re: Terracos da Vigia , who knows about?
I have noticed that these apartments are on the market with several agents none of which are Carvoeiro based - they are all at different prices. Have they not sold any more? Whilst the photographs show the property they do not appear to be finished as there are no white goods within the kitchen. Doe...

Re: Car hire and the new Airport Tax system
Picked up a car with Redspot a couple of weeks ago using Economy Car Hire at Perth domestic terminal and left it at the International terminal a few days later. All so easy and laid back. After years of using P4 at Faro I now dread to think what happens when we collect the car at Easter. Any further...

Re: AKI
That is true, Bruce. We will be in there next time to choose, but no DIY on this one. Good selection of tiles as well; better than in Lincoln, where we have been looking this afternoon for kitchen tiles

Re: AKI
Had a look round last month and it did not seem as good as the old Aki. Still, a useful and welcome alternative to Max Mat and Leroy Merlin. Looking at shower screens and large trays Leroy Merlin beats them all. Little choice at the new Aki.

Re: Lisbon
Parking is free and usually easy just outside the station. Best if you book on line and go first class. Last year it was about 23 euros. As an alternative try a break to Porto. Ryanair fly daily and we have twice had great deals flying out of Faro early morning and coming back the next day on the la...

Re: Key safe
Someone is back at Intermarche. Had keys cut there last week. Bigger kiosk with more services and prices are very reasonable. Much cheaper than Guia. I am sure he can help with a key safe.

Re: Car Hire
No. we had 05 OP 11. Travelrent do not seem to have updated their fleet until recently. Our last few hires have all been 2 to 3 year old Fiat diesels, all of which have been excellent.

Re: Car Hire
Could be the one we dropped off on Thursday. Registered in April 2014. Unlike the previous Clio we had from Travelrent this one was pretty economical.

A Rampa
Has anyone tried this? Appears to be geared toward fish but no menu outside.
