Already in the morning at half past nine, my phone rang and my mother wanted to be picked up as arranged before the Marina Hotel. She was half past three in the morning since the move (Leverkusen - Dusseldorf - Faro - Vilamoura) and rejoiced, to have finally arrived. So there was first a nice relaxing breakfast at 24 ° and sunshine. Then the SUMMER crew waited impatiently for the mess. After all the baggage was to 50% determined for us: my so long eagerly awaited, reparierter Laptop, the new wireless antenna, Fly screens for the hatches and the new business cards. There was something for everyone 

Well fortified with sandwiches and fresh coffee we made a couple a first reconnaissance tour of Vilamoura. This day we wanted to spend here, there was still quite a bit from yesterday shaft solid low-pressure area. We did not expect our visit on the first day.

Since Vilamoura is unfortunately not grown city with the old town core, we explored halt the long sandy beach and strolled along the harbor through the shops. Everything was very neat and pleasing, but unfortunately also very touristy. But which one should indeed not be fazed, wie man hier deutlich sehen kann 🙂

When drinking coffee in one of the many harbor restaurants we were able to observe from a safe distance, as Dietmar joined already high up the mast, the new WLAN antenna. Patience was one never to his particular strengths :-). I could so definitely enjoy relaxing time with my mother, for there was after so long of course many things to talk over, finally relaxed without phone counter in mind.

After a long siesta and a delicious sundae, we looked briefly at the SY MENTOR past, further was the only one web, agreed to plans for the next day. For the rest of the afternoon we walked along the beach towards the fishing port and let us blow fresh wind in your hair. For dinner had to believe a large plate of fresh seafood off. How fast is the first vacation my mother was already over. Tomorrow it would seriously, because we wanted the casting of lots linen and sail the first day together. Our destination was the island of Faro Culatra ago.
