As you can see, it’s a gorgeous September on the Algarve and will probably continue in to October. It usually does. The second beach in the pictures has no bars/restaurants.

The British military cemetery in Elvas, in the alentejo region of Portugal, is one of the oldest of its kind in the world.
It’s a beautiful garden inside the bastion walls of a garrison city, a memory to the thousands of soldiers who died in the peninsular war of the Napoleonic era.
Wellington and Britain’s allies wanted to drive Napoleon out of southern Spain and they plotted the campaign to take Badajoz and Albuera, just over the border in Spain, from a base in Elvas.
The thousands of soldiers who died were buried where they fell with nothing to mark the spot but five officers were found graves within the Elvas fortress and the cemetery now represents all those fallen.
It is a place of serenity with marvellous views, pine trees and palm trees and lots of benches to sit and contemplate from.
The story is all in the numerous tribute stones around the walls. Places like this bring history alive to me and I would recommend a visit here to anyone.

Love to see the old DFDS ship sliding in to the Tyne. Amsterdam calling! Makes me want to get travelling again, even just a short journey to somewhere nice.
