Meeting Motorcyclists

We've arrived in Faro just as the 41st International Motorbike Meeting is starting - the place is chock-a-block with motorcycles, and huge blokes with long grey hair in ponytails and shaggy beards and leather waistcoats and tattoos. There were around 35, 000 of them last year, apparently. We talked to three of them, from Manchester, lovely guys.

In the extra, an underwater shot of a crab we watched for ages who kept trying to open this shell, but had to keep fleeing from smaller, lighter crabs. As soon as it managed to open the shell enough to start extracting the meat inside, it got mobbed by the smaller crabs, and eventually gave up and left them to it. 

Gratefuls:
- lovely messages from our kids and grandkids for our anniversary
- getting the ferry to Faro town and back, and enjoying an ice-cream
- relaxed time together
