You know the feeling that you get after a long trip... "I need a holiday to recover from this holiday!" Well after 6 months of globe trekking we found ourselves a nice spot in Faro Portugal to settle down while we sorted out the next phase of our grand plan. This gave us the chance to return to something resembling a normal routine, such as cooking (we have a kitchen!), doing laundry like normal people (we have a washing machine!) and exercising (we can finally j...
