Let's try the mini train again

We thought we might as well check the escalator today as we still want to take the mini train around Albufeira. You can travel around all day hopping off whenever you want and then on again.
And the price is only 3 Euros each.

We thought we would take the shortcut to the escalator. The shortcut is up the giant hill and down the other side, but only takes 5 minutes (that's 15 for us).

Along the route, I took pictures of some of the narrow streets in the old town.

Finally we made it to the escalator, and wonder of wonder, it was working. Up to the top we went and  boarded the mini train for our great adventure.
We went around the complete route, and on our second go around we hopped of at, wait for it, McDonalds!!!
Lunch at McDonalds and then some shopping along the strip. We also found the Albufeira mall and checked it out. We cannot purchase too many things as we only have so much room for the trip home.
Anyway we did buy a diet pepsi. haha. (That's what Joe's keeps telling me anyway)
On the way back, sitting in our car on the mini train, a couple jumped in asked where we were from. Hamilton, we said. Hamilton, they said as well. What a coincidence, only 2 couples on a mini train car and both of them live in Hamilton.
Only problem is he was a tiger cat fan, and I am an Argo fan. Lucky for him that he is a lot younger then I am or we might have come to blows. No, just kidding, they were a very friendly couple and we did get along very well.

Once off the mini train, we headed back to the hotel and passed the carmel popcorn shop. I reckon you can tell that this guy works there.

The next picture is the place that Bonnie and I have frequented the most since we have been here.
Every day we head to the health club to do our 3 minutes of finger exercise.
The picture is small but you can read "Health Club" in the centre right. Harder to read is the "beer corner' to the lower left. That is a much better place to do finger exercise.

We booked our hotel in Lisbon for February 28th for the night before our flight home. We will take the bus up to Lisbon on the 28th and fly home on March 1st.

The weather in the next few days promises to be excellent, so we will probably forgo the health club and spend our days in the Sea swimming and surfing. Until tomorrow.
