Swimming in Paradise...

New Year, same rain...

After 102mms of rain in November and 187mms in December, I think we've had enough... this time last year we were headed to Goa, this year we are staying here to get the hostal open!! We took the camper on a quick trip to Seville, Cordoba, Ourique and Silves to celebrate New Year and are now dodging showers to finish off Singin Jacks and the HqO.


Sunrise sunrise over Quinta Stuart


The HqO... Headquarters Owl, our new office at the front of Singin Jacks, our new eco loo and shower area.


Bagged this bugger spilling my drink in Seville


The overflow at Sta Clara dam... about 20cms to go!!


Villa Sheeva, step one. This will be an eight person dormitory. Used greenhouse poles sponsored by www.tipialgarve.com


New swimming pond at Quinta Stuart.... I wish!! This is a fabulous eco pool near Sta Barbara de Nexe - we will be creating something like this later this year.
