Spotted an Owl on the left hand post at 5.46 ,great tour of the Island .

Absolutely stunning Andy thank you for taking us on your journey I really enjoyed that 😎🙏 & more please 👍

[@sharolfowler2859]

What a paradise. I love that it is still mostly untouched.

You know Andrew we enjoy everything you are posting! Just because you try to include us in your life. And: You always look at the bright side of life! 😊😊😊😊

[@rhondadorey1723]

I really enjoyed today’s video. It’s great to see the amazing countryside you’ve got to explore. The scooter is nice as there’s little noise and the speed allows us to see everything. So thank you.

[@isabellevince5174]

Lovely to see the island. Thanks l

[@old_con]

Great to see everything as you sped along. Fantastic way to get about and see the local life, thanks for sharing. 👍🏽😎

[@SandcityDe]

Super! Those decks are just beautiful. And you are almost alone - in August!

[@lindabailey6311]

Thank you for the tour. Learning more about the place you live is as important as the build. Nice Break.

[@robertleigh559]

Well, what a surprise and clever. I love the building vlogs but this was fascinating for a change of scenery and purpose. Wish I was there. Loved it and watched it twice. Jealous of that boardwalk. Change of pace like this now and then helps the story to stay fresh. Thank you.

[@marytweet8170]

Your really enjoying that scooter.. The sight itself is very nice and even better with the music.😊👍🏻

[@ReneeWardRealtor]

This was fun. I catch myself focusing on the road instead of enjoying the scenery being a passenger lol. I've never been to Portugal and it beautiful. I got a glimps of boats resting in this calm waters. How peaceful and tranquil. Thanks Andy

[@veemount3803]

Your exploring the area videos are my favourite (often watched more than once), I enjoy all the other videos but seeing your beautiful region and hearing you enthuse about it, is just a wonder & a delight 😍 more please.

[@alisonjordan]

Hello 👋 Andy!! Thanks for a fascinating video 📹 of your day trip to the beautiful beaches 🏖 near Faro. It is also great to take a boat trip around the Ria Formosa Natural Park, visiting other Islands. Great to see you take time out during the extreme heat 🥵 Looking forward to your next video 🌞

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Free as a bird! Fabulous. 👍

[@annar6430]

Yes please Andy...another Day out 👍🌻.Such bike fun. .but It takes confidence to handle a bicycle at such speed !

[@armindamarques3906]

Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome week 🏊🏻‍♂️🛴

[@saundrafarr113]

Yes. Would definitely like to see more videos like this. Having explored Alte and some of the surrounding villages on Monday I was hoping that you might do some videos like this and here you are! Thank you. I’ve loved my short holiday here and certainly having found your channel was more interested to explore the real algarve than just the tourist areas. You are truly blessed to live here.

[@sues7589]

Super ride you did, great fun it must have been. I particularly liked the section where you speed up the vid. I doubled the play back speed and it's even better.

[@melllwyd4888]

This Vlog is right on time for me because a friend of mine flew into Faro this morning from Dublin ! It is grand to see the locality of where they will be, I really appreciate your postings and the wide variety of topics. So thanks very much indeed !

[@laurielacomb4969]

What struck me about the beach ride you took us on, was how clean the beaches, the pathways, the roads, were. Maybe I'm too used to seeing graffiti, litter, cigarette butter, old tossed out gum, but it's so marvelous! Southern California has my perception scared.

[@alisonjordan]

Hello Laurie👋 The Beaches 🏖 of the Algarve are beautiful and pristine. 😎There are boat trips that sail around the coast visiting the caves and seeing strange rock formations. Sadly there is still a lot of graffiti in the nearby towns. 🙁

[@robertlewis4998]

Hi Andy enjoyed the bike ride nice scenery around lovely sandy beaches could see you were enjoying yourself.

[@TheDen1970]

I remember it well doesn't look any different from when we went there all those years ago, great memory's.☀🏖

[@lorraineelderhurst4199]

Yes definately more like this. Enjoyed your scooter ride. I live on the Mornington Peninsula at the bottom end of Australia and when it gets hot beaches are very crowded. I am amazed at the length of the board walk and like you love the old beach shacks

[@ewawyso2052]

Just returned from the trip (drive) to Nova Scotia and Cape Breton...I was surprised how many beautifuly sandy beaches could be found on the East coast of Canada. The water temp was ab 18-20°C depending on the area, which is ' hot' for this climate. Your trip around Faro Isl. reminds me of my vacation.

[@angelahare8402]

I always wait to see your pups at the end and this video didn't disappoint. So sweet!

Hi Andy,lovely area to relax after eating building dust all week!About 30 years ago I had my boat in same area,Culatra and up the Guardiana .You definitely take care of yourself putting in time to relax too.I am a bit older than you but still have not learned to look around at beautiful places that are near!

I think I made a mistake moving to Andalucia. Portugal looks so laid back and unsophisticated. Just as I like it.

[@gary22223]

You may change your mind after seeing the prices though - Andalusia is far more affordable from what I've seen

[@marianela111]

My Auntie owned a house on Faro Island. But she sold it just before many got knocked down as they had been built illegally I think I was 2 at the time so when I went to Portugal for a couple of summers as a teen I didn't get to enjoy it. Oh well 🤪 love the vid TFS always wonderful to see you having fun 😎🌻🇬🇧🙏

[@blondguy]

I imagine a number getting wiped out from the storms from time to time. 👍

[@marianela111]

@@blondguy I remember going fishing on the shore. Never caught anything but it was fun. I did think I caught something from the pier/jetty where the boats from Faro arrive at I thought I had caught something really big I dove in to find out what happened turns out it was the pier the hook got caught on a clump of barnacles 🤪🤣🤣🤣

[@susanknight8961]

That looks like great fun. Why are there so few people? You so good on that scouter, I’m not sure if I would be that good. Thank you for the lovely tour.

[@blondguy]

The beaches are long and people spread out 😂 tourists tend to stay nearer the resorts. Mainly locals go to the island.

[@19del69]

We look forward to all your content. Thanks Andy.

[@NicoletteEBedford]

Wow, roller coaster ride! Must have taken a lot of people a long time to build that walk way. Glad you are having a change of scenery. Breathing in that ozone, Soo good. Stay safe.🍻🇿🇦🐬🍦🛴🏉🏆🏅

Nice ride 🙂

[@Feeoryne]

NICE!!!❤

[@colinevans2000]

Been to the Algarve a few times from the UK and did some exploring, mainly by train. Could you when off on another of your fun jollies give us more on the location/area. With your local knowledge and tips my next visit will be even better. Love the food and beer and the out of the way places. Cheers mate.

[@blondguy]

Will do. For some reference the island is 5 mins car from airport.

[@marisa01082012]

Hi Andy, nice tour and nice video. If you can, I suggest the islands of "Culatra" and "Farol" (you'll have to go by boat and I don't know if they let you take the scooter) I think you'll like it 👍🤗

[@blondguy]

Will try it. Can’t remember which ones I’ve been on.

[@eunicefantasia2403]

Walking this board walk is so much more enjoyable Andy, It takes longer to do but in my opinion it's all round better to walk. Hope your video doesn't encourage too many scooters now. Well documented as it is a lovely island to visit. There is also another board walk all along the beach parallel to the road. 🙏

[@blondguy]

I walk all day and Ive done that walk many times. Scooter is fun and helps make these vids and it’d be a Long video if I walked 😵‍💫 The decking is access to the huts and most use mopeds or cycle on it. I don’t encourage anyone to do anything. If I was walking I’d walk along the beach much more fun. 👍

[@jeffsmith2144]

Some of us cannot walk very far 😕

[@mezanian]

I use my E scooter for mobility, my ability to walk to places like this is very limited. I get out more, do more and cause no problems 😊

[@blondguy]

[@carolleenkelmann4751]

You can "creep" these types of videos in as often as you like and can. That dip in the water was great. What do you do with the camera and stick when you go swimming ? - use a floatie?

[@anitasujiivana4553]

Loved it! Thank you!

[@kimgreen9342]

It is so beautiful! I am puzzled as to how all those beach houses/shacks are out there and there are no roads. The ocean is gorgeous and calm. I thought I saw an owl on a post at one point. Thank- you Andy for bringing me along! I enjoyed that beech adventure :)

[@blondguy]

Locals in the houses use the decking. That’s the purpose as well as casual walk etc. most have mopeds they use on there.

[@EastLondonKiwi]

Love the colour of your shades fella. Take care D

[@vanhoofwim86]

What an incredibly beautiful part of Portugal you have shown us here, and what a calm and peaceful environment you have there, a wonder that there are not masses of people bivouacking there. Fortunately, there is also a piece of beach with noise and entertainment for the spoiled person. 😂🤣😅 Can you share with us how long the dekking is there, approximately? 🤔

[@Reverend-Rodger]

I have to be honest Andy I'm pretty damn Jealous right now, it's so beautiful.

[@alzera473]

That looked like great fun...love the walkways. What do they call the beach bars and restaurants on the beach in Portugal? In Spain they call them Chiringuitos.

[@blondguy]

bares de praia, my guess

[@Nulife23]

Oh how fun! On those long boardwalks can you get off of them anywhere along the way or just the designated exits?

[@blondguy]

Yes. They are there for access to the houses etc but anyone can use them.

[@gary22223]

I'd love to be there now!

[@johnpierce2390]

You got to have fun some time Andy all the time work is not good for you need to relax some time and get you a Local 😉😉🍻🍻👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️

[@SwimCoach8]

Thanks Andy. So beautiful! Are most of these places seasonal or is there a large year round population?

[@blondguy]

Faro is one of the busier towns. Mainly locals live there. Population down here is not very big but increases noticeably during July and August with holiday makers. Rarely traffic James. Hopefully it will stay that way for a long time 👍

[@johndinsdale9386]

Andy, great video, really enjoyed seeing the area and beaches, question, what is the battery life on your scooter?

[@blondguy]

Between 60-80km

[@carlosvictor8679]

great ride all along that island...didn't enjoy when young andrew went through a red light over the bridge 😞

[@blondguy]

Don’t forget it’s a scooter, I can jump up on walkway. I new I’d catch up and pass the other cars. Wouldn’t do it in car or bike. It had only changed for a couple of seconds and didn’t want to stop and play with camera.

I’m not so sure that it is legal in Portugal either.

[@lillic8522]

In Zurich they are a pest. We have several companies that rent them out, they are faster than bicycles, often with two people on them, naturally following rules even worse than Cyclists. Apparently they also have an obligation to park them in the worst possible places, so everyone else falls over them 🙄. Following Andys trip though I can see the appeal, and it is amazing how long the battery lasts.
