5th March
All the shops are closed today, but all the cafes and restaurants and bars are open and the village is humming. Went into the River Café where all the sailors hang out I was told. Julian, the bar man is English and sailed into Alcoutim 2 years ago in his old Westerly Conway with very small children and in his words "sort of got stuck here!" The children are now at school in Sanlucar so they are even more stuck. Julian explained that he moors out in the river somewhere and occasionally on one of the pontoons at either Sanlucar or Alcoutim for a while until asked to move on and then back on anchor in the river. What a different life those children must have!
Last night was very comfy and cosy and we are fully refreshed.
Cloudy but warm and spent the day wandering about and exploring the village. However, we realized that we need to go somewhere and do a full shop tomorrow. This does not make me happy as we seem to go wrong these days whenever we venture out. However, we have got directions from Christian to a new and good supermarket in Castro Marim. Not as far as Vila Real, but nearly!
