Having decided that we would not have the usual tradition christmas we flew to sunnier climates of the algarve.These pictures were taken on the day of our arrival 24th december .It was so warm.Such a contrast to london which was sooo cold the day we left and really foggy.Beautiful rooms.Gorgeous views from my balcony, despite the empty chaise loungers the hotel was completely full, a wonderful mixture of people all with the same idea of escaping the hum drum of xmas.
