The weather was bit mixed today with occasional sun allowing you to enjoy sitting on the balcony but then a short while later it was gone. One indicator is that we can see in a distance the aircraft arriving or leaving Faro Airport which changes each time the weather changes.
Jennifer went for a swim which she enjoyed whilst the writer was confined to barracks for the bloody usual reason, this LARS issue is a real pain in the but-. Anyway whilst looking at stuff on the computer and remembering discussing a week ago that we liked this apartment and location and perhaps return next year but perhaps a month later when the weather is better. So I decided to look to see if by booking direct might be cheaper than booking a ferry and apartment thro Brittany Ferries and then consider flying down and renting a car. Well I got a bit of a shock once I had navigated to the estate website and put in my requirements for next year and when looking at the results thought perhaps I had put in to many days, but no my data entry was correct. The obvious difference between booking direct rather than thro Brittany is that by booking direct you get daily housekeeping as against weekly and a breakfast buffet each day as against self catering. We are no dirty people so a wekkly clean up is fine and for breakfast we have mostly toast and jam with perhaps once a week a bacon sarni. Well for a month they wanted for the two bedroom apartment £6K. well for us to come via Brittany including ferries travel for the same period was about £3.5K although we did pay a little extra for and outside cabin and access to the lounge which served food throughout the day.This is a massive difference. I know you have to drive for a couple of days and would require at least one night Hotel plus fuel but still??? So we will book again via Brittany.
Later in the day we watched JFK Revisited an update on the film JFK and this was brought about by Trump releasing all the hidden paperwork which is allowing the US to review and try to get to the bottom of his assassination. Noel has also watched some of the hearings and already many statement are being questioned about was really Oswald involved, was it the same gun held up by the FBI and what about the magic bullet and finally did they mess with JFK wounds to provide a different account. All interesting stuff. Let alone was the CIA and or FBI and Johnson involved?? hopefully we might get an answer .
