There are now nine houseboats!


It was reasonably busy yesterday afternoon. Plenty of boats going in and out.

Those houseboats are breeding. There are now six of them.


It was fairly busy down there yesterday. This large group were French.


Plenty of jet skis etc out on the water.

I have updated the information on Page 1 and thanks to bunnyrunner for highlighting the recent changes. Only two or three of the places to eat and drink remain closed. Although there are still not many people around, the situation is improving. Several of the boat trips are now running.

Yes Phil Lawrence is playing Fat Cats on Friday at 5pm. He used to host the Karaoke at Tic Tac years back and before the first lockdown played Granfinus in the Old Town. Last year he played Friday nights at Paragrafo but this year has switched to Fat Cats.
Martin Jonathan who plays Jack's Irish bar on Mondays and Fridays has just started playing at Sharky's on Wednesdays at 3pm, Chris says it is the first time he has had music at Sharky's.
The Irish bar has music every day at 6pm, except Saturday. The Brothers (Tiago and Jao?- good musicians with a comedy element, Elvis Impersonations etc, playing on Thursday and Sunday and a new act to me anyway, The Guiness Brothers (Colm and Roddy) playing Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The Brothers also play the Sushi Bar on Saturdays and Castelo da Nortica on Fridays, which also has a Fado act on Saturday.
Paragrafo now have a Fado singer on Saturdays.
Pippas Bar will reopen tomorrow (Friday 21st May) as an Italian Tapas bar named El Bairro. They are having a Grand Opening Night from 6.30pm with all you can eat for 11.99€ and a Fado act.
The unit to the left of Sal Y Mar (Mexican Restaurant) is going to be a Piri Piri Chicken Restaurant, they have taken their time with it due to the lockdown. It's another owned by the guy who has Jack's Irish Bar along with Marmota on the Bar street in the Old Town. So he now has this new one, The Mexican, The Irish Bar and Tasca Portuguese, 5 units all in a row.
Another interesting development is a bar on the decking opposite the Spar shop, it's moving very slowly though. It belongs to the Russian? guy who had the Scad dive and Kids rides. It will be interesting to see how that works out, a bar with no secure building to back it up.

I didn't go down there last weekend but will make a point of doing so this weekend.  I will check that everyone is now open.

Fat Cats at the Marina have live music on Friday from 5 I think - went there last week and was great to get back to some form of normality

A new view, from above the great wall, now that the landscaping work behind is almost finished.

Not much going on yesterday as most of the restaurants and bars don't bother to open on  a Sunday with the 1pm enforced closure, But the area was shining in the sun.

Marina today. About half the places were open but there were few customers. The water was a murky green colour.





Those houseboat things are multiplying. The one on the left was occupied.







And the Insonia boat trip was operating, complete with masked and socially distanced crew and passengers.

Not personally but got talking to a Dutch family that hired the biggest one for a day. If there is a group of you it works out cheap to hire for a day and the Spar is opposite. 

They were having much fun just drinking and eating on the top deck.

Has anyone used one of the "Houseboats"?  What was it like?

At least one boat trip was running yesterday, in rather choppy waters.
