The Hoteis Paraiso
Last Days and the Journey Home, Albufeira, Portugal - 9th April 2016
There's time for a visit to the roof of the hotel and another day at the beach, before packing up and heading home, but not before another lash-up on Mojitos down in the hotel bar.

Fred has a float around
Fred in the Jacuzzi
Fred checks out his pool noodle
Pool-side loungers and the 80s canteen
Isobel in the pool
Harry gets in
Harry has a swim
A massive herring gull perches on a car roof
Fred tries to grab a Mimosa leaf
One of many nice tiled street signs
A pile of dogs on a staircase
Fred on the escalator down to Praia dos Pescaderos
Our regular beer stop: Sir Harry's Bar
Harry and Fred get in some giant milkshakes
The view from the bar
The proprietor has a dance
It's not an English bar at all
Contra-jour as we wander up some cobbled street
Tiling detail
The artificial cave/tunnel to the beach
Fred plays Pan pipes on the beach
Harry runs about on the beach
Harry has a blow
Pebble-dash graffiti
A line of tuk-tuks near the Inatel Hotel
Isobel and Harry in a Chinese restaurant
Fred's got a bishop's hat on
A pile of food occurs
Harry keeps quiet by looking at a tablet
Fred stares out a Terracotta-soldier-type dude
Terracotta statues by a Chinese restaurant
Fred had been pestering us to visit the roof
A maze of similar corridors
An old sign for Bellavista Comercial
Discarded white goods outside a café
Harry and Isobel on the way down to Inatel beach
Fred digs a tunnel to the other side of the world
The gang on the beach
Blue and white buildings
A very-faded roadsign
Fred on a wall
A nice local building
The remains of the inside of a building
Fred and Harry do some kick-about
Walking back from the Marina end of Albufeira
A funky cactus
Isobel and Harry on the street
Walking back from the beach
Some stained glass in the hotel lobby
The top of the building looks like a Cyberman
The boys are on devices
Harry on a tablet again
It's time to start packing up in the hotel
Fred and Harry have a drink
The curious illuminated sea shells in each room
A view of the outdoor pool
We're back in the bar for the last night
Fred with some radioactive pink squash
In the bar
There are tons of olds dancing to some keyboard music
Harry has another sleep
Fred and the Northern Ireland massive
Turning off lights shows a glow-in-the-dark sign
Hotel room: 6am
Waiting for airport taxis to arrive
Isobel and Fred hang out in reception
The boys at an airport café
Isobel roams around by the vending machines
Faro's tubular airport
The hordes embark the Ruinair flight
The front end loads up too
An Easyjet 737 on the apron
A Monarch 757 and 737
Looking down a turbofan's exhaust
Waving goodbye to the coast of Portugal
A view of a sky-bus from the rear end
Hint: you can use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between albums, and between photos when in the photo viewer
