Almost there!

Although Sunday, I think it important to let you all know that we have had the news we've all been waiting for: ELECTRA have signed the paperwork so now the electricity issue has been resolved!

Here is the communication we have received from our main Engineer

Autos assinados pela Electra quer dizer que, a partir daquela data (da assinatura) esta reconhece que a rede está em condições de uso para o serviço, tomou posse da mesma, passando a ser da sua exclusiva responsabilidade o fornecimento de electricidade a cada uma das unidades concluídas.

So what this mean, in English is:

The order has been signed by Electra which means that, from that date (The signing date) they (Electra) recognise that the network is fit for use, they take possession of it thus exclusive responsibility for the supply of electricity to each of the finished units passes to them.

So it really does appear that the "light" at the end of the tunnel can be switched on!

Updated photos on the Vila Verde Webalbum

Once again we have updated the photos. We have tried to make the most comprehensive photo report possible. If you want photos of other parts of the resort just let us know and we'll send our team (Well, Carlos anyway) out with his camera.

Have a great day!

Vila Verde is becoming "Verde"

The first plants have been put into the grounds around Canna. In total there is something like two million Euros worth of plants that have been ordered for Vila Verde.

Now we will see our fantastic resort not only taking shape but gaining colour!

These first plants have gone into Canna (C04) and I am sure you will agree that they really give the resort an attractive finish. We will plant Canna and then move on to Sedum (C07) and so on, more or less in the order of the communities that have finished up to now.

We are sure you are as excited and proud as we are to see this and we would like to thank everyone on site for a great job.

We will post all of the photos on the Picasa Web Album that we have.
