We were over at christmas and it rained and stormed. Since coming home I have kept my eye on the weather situation as I am coming back in 4 weeks.It doesn't seem to have let up at all. Has there been a day this year yet that there has been no rain at all?

What a great idea!
I would love to do it, but so would my sons, so it usually works out too expensive for us to do daredevil things
Can I ask how much it costs?

Hi Tricky
It cost €195 for the sky dive and another €75 for the DVD

Everyone on hols usually tries the usual - a dip in the pool, sunbathing on the beach, going for long leisurely walks along the cliffs, taking the kids to slide n splash etc etc etc. For those of you fun loving people out there who are looking for something a little different why not do what my son ...

I agree with both Ellie and Lesley Jean, Columbo's is the moist welcoming restaurant/bar I have ever been in. Not surprising after all the rain we've had recently. :lol: Oh how very observant of you to pick up my obvious spelling mistake, I just can't believe it has taken a month for someone to poi...

What is wrong, if anything, with the webcam link? I am trying to see views from new years day, but it won't let me. When you click on search, there is no 2010, so I thought I'd try by puting 31 Dec 2009 and go to the next page, but there is no 'next page'.

The food is second to none, steaks, fantastic, fish sumptious, and as Ellie said the chocolate mousse is to die for. All that said though, I must say what amazes me most is even though they ...

Hi Rayeileen

We'll miss you, however let me just say that we wil have a drink in Columbo's for you.

I know over here in UK everyone has had to re-tune their TV's because of going digital. Is it the same in Portugal?

I am looking at the pictures from the webcam in the ice cream shop

Hi all you lucky people who live in Carvoeiro, can you please answer my question. Is CVO open or not. Every time I look on the web cam it seems like a ghost town. CVO Sol , Smilers and Columbos all in darkness, not even any signs of taxis. What is happening?

Karen Ann Well you asked for suggestions so here goes! I am not surprised that the Carvoeiro Sol is not opening if all thaey charge is less than the taxi fare of 20 Euros!! My suggestion is if you really want to pound stretch it is to drive there and get a cab home and maybe when your hangover has ...

Oh Dodger

What are you suggesting?

Our apartment is in Portimao, however we always celebrate New year in Carvoeiro and book into Carvoeiro sol for the night. I have just emailed them as usual and they have replied to say that they will be closed. Does anyone have any suggestions? The reason we stay is because I have a drink so can't ...
