SnipIn the period between this last day [of May] and 30 June, are records that indicate the presence of the Payne couple, again, in our country. The return occurred on 29th, and this time they remained in Portugal until 2 July.
Meanwhile the parents of Madeleine had travelled to various places in the Algarve, namely: Burgau, Sagres, Budens, Portimao, among others, having their "base" at Luz.
They went more than once to the airport to receive or to bid farewell to friends and / or relatives.
Nor did they always travel in the company of each other, but during this month of June they made two trips out of Portugal, one between 5th and 7th, and another between 10th and 12th.
In the period from 1 to 31 July, the McCanns maintain a routine similar to the previous month. They continue to travel between Luz, Portimao, Faro airport, Lagos and other places.
