In Ottawa Ontario, it's great. Around 27 degrees centigrade, sunny, a little humidity, but fabulous day for golf.

If you are looking for football jerseys and scarves, try the gypsy markets especially the one at Quarteira. I have seen booths there just loaded with these items for sale.

Can I ask this question? If the restaurant doesn't mark up the price on their goods such as wine, how are they supposed to pay for their expenses and make a profit? As consumers, if we feel the price is too much we do not have to patronize their business. In the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, they...

Just tried it. Yes, the hour glass appears and the maps zooms in only slightly so that it doesn't appear to have done anything. It actually has zoomed in. Keep on clicking your "+" over the spot you want and the zoom keeps on happening (at least that's how it works for me). One other item I have not...

Martin, you have found a great site for maps. It is a lot better than Google's satellite pictures. The digital site works similar to Googles. Just select the "+" magnifying item from the tool bar at the top of the map box and zoom in to the site you want to look at. I can zoom right on to CVO's beac...

Try this site. It has free software to unlock any phone. Only thing is that some phones need selective cables to do it, like Sony Ericsson. http://simlock.techgsm.com/simlock/u/ In reply to Digger's question you do not connect to any existing network when you unlock your cell phone. Another easy sou...

If you want a huge town market, try the one in Portimao. It is closer to the hospital and Modelo on the west side of town. It is in a building on three levels. First is the vegetables, fruits and flowers, second level has the meats and the top level is all the seafood. Everything is fresh, If you ar...

I agree. I can't be bothered to log on all the time, therefore I do not read the Chit-Chat section. Didn't take long to change the title of the FAQ section. All changes for better communications.

I liked your post Michael Crane. Very informative. Wish there were more posts like yours. As for the wheel chair episode, I saw the reverse situation used this spring. I was waiting at the luggage carousel for my luggage in Ottawa and noticed a fellow being wheeled over by an airport attendant to th...

Strange that you are having problems with Budget. We got charged in Southern France for excess insurance premiums when we specifically refused it and was covered for by our credit card company (Visa). It was for 600 euros on a month rental. We got nowhere getting our money back for six months until ...

There's free Wi-Fi in Silves. It is located in the area around the town offices (camara) and Visitor information hut. You can park right there if you find an open spot or walk over to the area. I used go over and sit on the bench and use my laptop. One thing is either go when it is dark or cloudy or...
