On Tuesday 18th June 2013 my Dad and I flew out to a family friends house in Vilamoura in Portugal to do some repair work on their villa and swimming pool. We were out in Vilamoura for 5 weeks in total, 3 weeks working and 2 weeks relaxing and enjoying the sunshine.
This is the lovely luxury chauffeur driven stretch Mercedes that my Dad and I were picked up from the airport in and taken to our friends villa, it was lovely to arrive in style
This is the view of the villa as I arrived at its electric security gate
The first thing I did after unpacking my bags and getting changed into cooler clothes was to take some photographs of the swimming pool, as you can see the pool terrace has some lovely views over the surrounding countryside
This is a panoramic photograph from the rear balcony overlooking the pool terrace and the neighbouring villas pool terraces

30 minutes after arriving at the villa and my Dad is already cracking on with the job of burning rubberised paint off the terrace walls ready for them to be repainted
The pool completely empty

One day whilst grouting the repaired pool out I looked up and spotted this in the sky, I call it a sun halo its a rainbow that forms a complete circle right around the sun, Dad and I had never seen one before so we took loads of photographs of it - it was an amazing sight

The swimming pool completely grouted out and ready to be rinsed down

We got the swimming pool completely finished in 2 weeks so we had 1 week to complete the other little jobs around the villa including repainting the pool terrace wall, then we had a further 2 weeks in which my Mum and younger Sister flew out to relax and enjoy themselves with us. We flew home on Thursday 18th July 2013 after a great time
