Riga?

:nod: fabulous place.

I’m there (here) too. Although it was vodka last night - excellent Russian restaurant, and red wine tonight. And it’s dark so no views, hence no pics

It's a beautiful Portuguese town with some fantastic restaurants. The people are incredibly friendly and it is and always has been a great place for families.

Maybe not every family...

If you like beer try the Kwak Inn. Great selection of Belgian and Trappist beers.

That was my point. The town took a big hit after the McCanns and it was sad to see. I've been going to the Algarve all my life and while I've never stayed in PdL, I regularly went visited as one of my favourite restaurants is there. Went the year after McCann and it was very surreal. While things have improved a lot it will always have that hanging over it to some degree.

As for Sagres/Super Bock, I have had plenty of both I think it's probably because SB is so much more prevalent that I like to have Sagres when I can.

My grandparents emigrated to the Algarve in 1981 (two years before I was born), and lived between Praia da Luz and Burgau on Montinhos da Luz, then later in Luz itself... So I've spent a great deal of time in that little town.

In fact the point in my photo above is where my Nan's ashes are, looking out over the town - and my grandfather is in the Luz cemetery.

What happened when Maddie went missing turned a sleepy resort into a media circus overnight - it destroyed the town, and its tourism for years.

Anyway... More beers. This time outside the clubhouse at Boavista Golf, which is where my place is.

Are you sure? Looks a lot like a view of the Atlantis Hotel on the Palm in Dubai (maybe taken from one of the hotels on the outer frond (Waldorf, Anantara or Rixos)). I would not bet money on it though.

Braver than me, Tiger Beer is ropey stuff....

I don’t actually mind Tiger too much, most importantly it was cold and wet (and ultimately blended with a load of Heineken).

Looks like it. I recognise the bridges and this



(not sure why it's sideways!)

Too many beers, not too sure of the view?

I took this during the last week of the school hols, whilst I took my sons around the North Coast 500. We were wild camping on the Beach at Loch Lomond. Cost of camping permit £3. Cost of Bud Light four pack £3.50. View: Priceless.

I was with you up to the beer choice

After four nights wild camping - and a four hour drive around the NC500 in a Ford Transit with two teenagers and subsequent camp prep - meant literally anything remotely beery was an absolute delight.
