Last day

Much better weather. We lounged around the villa all morning, ate what food we had left for lunch, then drove to Carvoeiro for a last walk along the seafront. Some had a last ice cream and others had a final coffee in our favourite cafe and Daisy went shopping for a final time  (I think!)
Final fun and games in the pool followed and then we went back to Carvoeiro for a last meal. I wanted to try a different restaurant even though all those we’ve been to have been really nice, and I had scoped out the choice and, having spoken to one of the waiters this afternoon chose one that looked like another Italian restaurant.
The main man certainly seemed Italian and was as mad as a box of frogs. He wanted to fix Daisy up with a boyfriend and was all over Felicity but wanted us to sit outside. It was getting chilly by this time and some of us had coats on but he persuaded us to sit outside “while I set a table for you”. It quickly became obvious though that it was full inside and they brought our drinks outside, then they brought us bread and nibbles outside, and then wanted to take our food order outside. At this point Mum kicked off and said she was only eating inside. He assured her a table were just finishing their coffee before leaving so we ordered our food. Much to George’s amusement he then went inside and literally moved a table of 8 onto a smaller table adjacent to it and then brought their pudding to them. They quickly re-set the table and took us inside! So we ate inside after all. Meanwhile the football was on a tv on the wall and that well known Spanish team Ronaldo was playing Juventus and the madman kept shouting “penallltee “ at the telly and every time he passed our table he said “apologies “. Then, as we were finishing our main course George spotted another party of 8 shivering at our original outside table and the madman was pointing at our table so we decided not to order a pudding as we may have had to eat it in the kitchen or outside! So we left! But George had the best time and absolutely loved the entire experience and kept ranting on about Dad’s deals! I do my best
