Day 49 – 22nd June 2009 – Monday, Fuseta, The Algarve.

Thank heavens for Mothers, modern day postage, and ‘VW Heritage’ in Burgess Hill. Our new boot should be here within a few days.
The heat isn’t so stifling today and we have rigged up some shade next to the van with material sheets (the ground is too hard to put the awning up). So trying to stay out of the sun as much as possible today. We are still drinking the water as opposed to buying bottled and getting through a fair few litres each every day, most of which is sweated out within minutes! Eugh. We have no idea what the temperature is, but it sometimes feels on a par with African heat.
Ant has started whittling chess pieces from wood collected in different countries. Looking good so far… he has 4 rooks, 4 knights and half a bishop.
