During October we had a holiday in Portugal, the first time we had been to the Algarve. It was mainly rest and relaxation but I swam at least ½ mile per day, spent ½ hour in the gym each day and we walked quite a bit down to the town of Alvor and also on the beach.
Below are pictures of the holiday.
