Faro, Portugal; Great Expectations, Oustanding View, But A Disappointing Breakfast Buffet

I had heard about this restaurant, its buffet breakfast and lunch, and the amazing view of Faro's boat harbor, Ria Formosa, and the Atlantic Ocean, so we reserved for a Sunday breakfast.



I had reserved for 9:30 am, but when we arrived we were told that our reservation was for lunch. No worries, the hostess took our money (€16 each even though their website says breakfast is €13).
The restaurant is modern with big plate glass windows overlooking the sea and terraces where you can sit when the weather is warm enough. It was a tad chilly that morning so we parked ourselves near the buffet.


They have cheese and ham, a small salad bar, fresh fruit, cereals, and yogurt, but our focus was on the hot breakfast buffet They made omelets, but the choice of ingredients was sparse. The freshly cooked sunnyside-up eggs were very well done and they had a big quiche with egg and potatoes, but it was gobbled up an hour before breakfast ended and they did not bring out a fresh one

.







The bacon looked very strange, some kind of processed meat made to imitate bacon, but it was not very good. How hard can it be to provide real bacon? I can find it in numerous local supermarkets, but we get this processed garbage. Instead of breakfast sausage, they had chorizo and there were no potatoes except for the ones in the disappearing quiche. A breakfast with no potatoes? I don't think so!

There was a nice selection of bread, but the toaster was pretty much useless, having to put the bread on the conveyor belt three or four times to get it even lightly toasted.
The coffee machine was extremely popular and the line was very long because the machine was terribly slow. There was another machine at the other end of the room, but it was not working. The coffee situation was the long pole in the tent because everybody wants coffee with their breakfast yet only one slow machine.
The dessert selection was minimal and not all that appetizing so I did not partake.
This place desperately needs REAL bacon, a breakfast potato offering or two, a couple more coffee machines, a few more omelet ingredients, and a price that matches the one on their website.
I doubt we will go back.

Sorry I wasted my money on the IPTV Smarters Expert - 4K App

by Liftoff



I'm really sorry that I paid for the IPTV Smarters Expert - 4K app ...
  • Near constant buffering
  • Only one Favorites folder is allowed
  • No way to sort lists (by release date, etc.)
  • Have to type in the full name of the channel/title to locate
  • Support is slow and useless
I thought this app was free, but I was billed over $10/year by Apple shortly after trying it and there is no way to cancel or get a refund.
What a huge waste of money!

Hutton-Le-Hole, Yorkshire, England: The Crowning Glory Of A Small, Quaint Yorkshire

The Crown
Hutton-Le-Hole
North York Moors National Park 
YO62 6UA England
+44 1751 417343
Prices: €€€
A charming old pub in the middle of a quaint, gorgeous village in Yorkshire between York and Whitby, The Crown was empty when we arrived in the early afternoon.
They had a selection of bitters and cask ales. I had a piny of Wainwright and my wife a half shandy. The staff were very friendly. There was a fire blazing and we accessed their wifi as there was no cellular reception in the area while we enjoyed our drinks.

We did not eat, but the menu looked nice although the prices were a bit steep for such an isolated location. They also have three double rooms that are ridiculously expensive, running between £200 and £220 per night in mid-February.




The village is quiet and absolutely beautiful with old rock buildings and cottages as well as a creek running from the old church at the top of the hill through the small valley surrounding Hutton-le-Hole.
