Home Away From Home

We are indeed in our new abode: it is always a little overwhelming to get the lay of the land. The accommodations are on the rustic side. Getting enough water filtered might be a bit of a challenge as the water is very dirty and there is only one filter in the apartment.

Marv and Edith Friese (from Winnipeg) will take us shopping tomorrow: besides the food to buy a teakettle will be a priority. We'll try to catch up on our sleep tonight.

TAP (The Portuguese airline) did a great job in looking after us..no complaints there.
The flight over from Lisbon was not bad either..the plane was pretty well filled to capacity.

We arrived at 1.30AM and it was quite smooth going through customs (finger printed, picture taken and visa issued) and getting our luggage. We made it to bed at 2.45.
