Dear all, Thank you to you all. You were stars! My real name is not Mike, but actually Jonathan Cattell (hope you understand the reason for the deceit!!!). On 11 August, I proposed to Lisa Mitchell in Rei das Praias and she said yes. We are now now utterly blissed and very much engaged. The day bega...

Thanks. Seriously guys - are there any perils/issues i should know about in terms of having a table on the beach in front of rei des Praias at 7 in the evening?

How long does it take to get from Alba Suites to Rei des Praias? Is it a walk or a taxi? 2. Does RdP serve champa...

Thanks to all of you for your recent help.

Thanks!

Mike

Thanks!

Mike

Hi all,

Hope you're all well!

Thanks for any ideas!!!

Mike
