Portugal - Albufeira - Day 10
We woke up at about 7 in the morning. Niki and I had our breakfast outside in the balcony. Niki had some cereals, I had some coffee and cereals as well. Nimi and Deepika also joined us and we sat down and had our breakfast together.
Niki and Nimi kept pestering us to go the swimming pool, so we let them go. It was about 10:30 in the morning and we knew the water would be cold, but they had to learn the lesson the hard way. After about swimming for 20 mins, both of them came out of the swimming pool feeling a bit chilly.
We sat near the pool side. And let them bask in the sun. Deepika had planned to make pasta again for lunch today. This time we came back to the room and had our lunch.
After lunch we decided to go the beach and do some water sport activities. We wanted to hire the paddle boat and go into the ocean. We got our towels and walked to the beach. The paddle boat cost us €25 for an hour. They were also charging for life vest which was ridiculous. €2 each. What a scam!
Anyway, we got the boat and paddled into the ocean. Nimi was the first one to climb on to the slide and take a dip in the ocean. She was a very good swimmer. Niki was too scared to do it, so we let her be.
After that it was Deepika who went on the slide and finally it was me. We all went on the slide at least a couple of times. It was very windy and our paddle boat was getting blown into the ocean very easily. It was hard work to paddle the boat against the strong wind. Thankfully, our time ran out and we came back in.
we had plans to sit at the beach, but instead we came back to our swimming pool. It was a very good decision. The temperature today was 32 degrees, and the water was warm, unlike the ocean water.
We all jumped into the swimming pool and spent well over 2 hours in the pool. The kids enjoyed it a lot.
We then came back to the hotel and after having shower, we were ready for dinner. We had rice, daal and fried chicken for dinner. We were all starving after all the swimming we had done. We ate loads.
The kids went off to to sleep early as they were tired. We sipped on a glass of port, before going to bed.
