With just three days left of holiday we decided we would like to go home with some serious colour. Back in the late 1980s we were often given days off school for Teacher Training. These were called Baker Days after the Minister that put them into the law. We dedicated the final three days of our trip to being Baker Days. Plan of Action, to sit & Bake. Naturally we smothered ourselves in sunscren and spent from 10:00 - 14:00 every day on the beach. The great thing about Vale do Lobo's beaches is that you can only access them by driving through the reort. As such, there are very few people on the Beach. On Friday we sat on a Beach and litterally did not see another person for over an hour for as far as the eye could see in either direction. It truly did look like we had hired our very own private Island.
By 14:00, our water was nearly drank and on the peckish front we headed back to one of the Praca's seafront cocktail bars for a small apertif and then made our way back to the Villa for a spot of Lunch. By early afternoon the Sun is directly in front of the Patio creating a Sun Spot of un interupted altra violet rays. With our supply of Champagne and having bought Vodka, Amaretto & Baileys we made some screaming multiple orgasms and lay out to chill to the lightfooted dance tracks of Gaydar Radio.
Having spent All Day, Friday, Saturday and Sunday we were both deeply golden and packed up our cases ready for the next days departure.
Monday we awoke at 7:00, cleaned up the remaining dishes and tidied and found our way back to the Airport and checked in prior to 0800.
Armed with my Priority Pass (www.prioritypass.com) we quickly cleared security, stopped in Duty Free and found our way to the Lounge. Priority Pass membership allows you, for a small fee, to use a Private Lounge at over 450 airports worldwide. When you consider how much a sandwhich and a coffee costs at some airports the fee is easily covered by having a complimentary couple of drinks and snacks. Naturally all refreshments are free once inside as are newspapers and snacks. I have been lucky at some airports and you get free champagne too, but it does vary lounge to lounge. Having enjoyed a private deluxe villa for 9 days and our own Car we felt that just going home and sitting in the regular departures would be a low point for the holiday. So we presented the Card and enjoyed an Oasis compared to the noise & bustle of the main terminal.
Armed with our Tradittional Lounge beverage, a Bloody Mary each, we were ready to return to Blighty!
