So I am travelling in the Algarve region and it suprises me that there is not as much infrastructure investment here as there should be… Yes of course I understand that portugal is poor I just never realised how poor it was until now I do have vague recollections of cracked and unpainted walls.. abandoned buildings and burnt out cars on the side of the motorway and it was still there… Portugal needs more investment… I just have to weigh the risks against the benefits now, do we or do we not invest here… Doing so will bring in more money and improve the local economy but will it make the necessary changes? Only time and my cojones (if they’re big enough to take the risks will tell).

P.S. will post up pics of the trip soon…
