Re: Tolls on the A22

Waste of my holiday time today caused by the farcical toll system Go to post office, show rental agreement, lady behind desks sees that tolls have been incurred but not paid by previous user of hire car. Says she cannot split the tolls so we just pay ours. So leave without paying. This is what puts ...

Re: Tolls on the A22

What a nonsensical reply. Use the A22 and pay the tolls, or use the 125 and do not. If your decision to holiday or not in Portgal is based in the few Euros it costs to use the tolls then I question whether or not you wanted to come to Portugal anyway By the end of 2102 I think that we will see that...

Re: Tolls on the A22

What a big farce these tolls are. As said above Portugal needs all the tourism it can get. I think I may write to the Portugese embassy in the UK on my return to let them know that Turkey and the US are my next holiday destinations and that Portugal will be lower down on my list. I don't object to p...

Choices are very personal, but Ele & Ela's remains our favourite, followed by L'Orange. For good, but not exceptional quality, at reasonable prices, we would choose Chef Antonio's and Lanterna Velha. They both have the advantage of plenty of outside space for the summer months. Happy eating! Agreed...

Have to admit, I went for a drink there and the people behind the bar were quiet and not welcoming. Didn't go again. Why bother complaining when there are plenty of other places to go and enjoy? I don't go on holiday to complain - I go to relax and enjoy myself. Whatever one says - complaining is no...

Quite enjoyed our trip in June 2005. Pizza was lovely.

Soured by an incorrect bill which might (and I stress might) have been an attempt to extract a further 12 euros from us.

This is the best restaurant in Carvoeiro!

We went twice when we were there (16 to 30 June 2005) - WOW.

The bannana pudding is orgasmic!

As is the duck starter.

As is the rack of lamb!!

Brilliant - lovely people too.

Internet Cafe?

As Liverpool have just been allowed to defend their Champions League Winners status, I may have to buy tickets for their first qualifying round which takes place in July. I will be in CVO at the end of June. Is there a good internet cafe in CVO? I will need to buy my tickets from LFC online whilst i...
