Kate and Gerry set to return to Praia da Luz

The Sun Newspaper today: Kate and Gerry set to return to Praia da Luz: Brave Kate McCann will return to Praia da Luz for a first visit since their daughter was abducted, husband Gerry said yesterday. The couple are planning the trip to the resort - before the end of the year. Gerry, 41, said: "It is the last place she saw Madeleine and there is an emotional bond. There are people we would like to see and places Kate would like to return to. Now things are less intense, she would like to do that in private. It is going to be a very emotional experience". Gerry, speaking at a legal conference in Madrid about media coverage of the case, said: "Kate (41) has always felt "too raw" to return. But she expressed a wish to go back during a trip to Portugal last month to see the pair´s Lisbon - based lawyers". "She was yesterday at home in Rothley, Leics, with four-year old twins Amelie and Sean. She has been feeling "very positive" since the Lisbon trip", Gerry revealed. Gerry said he and Kate were boosted by last week´s channel 4 documentary on Jaycee Lee Duggard, the US girl found alive in August after being abducted 18 years ago. He said: "It was distressing at times but the story was important for us because it gives us hope. There is absolutely no evidence Madeleine has been seriously harmed. We can´t give up looking for her".

I hope they make it a quiet and thoughtful visit....will be so harrowing for them especially Kate to go back.....

I hope the citizens of Portimao don't think it's appropriate to line the streets again. Perhaps they should turn their effort to their useless and corrupt police force, where it could be useful.

Yeh and I hope TB and his merry men of followers dont bombard PDL with obscene posters/leaflets/crap.
Well, TB wouldn't personally be there would he, oh no, he has sheepies for that. Blind ones.
Wouldnt it be nice if they found Madeleine before then though?

I would like to think Kates privacy will be respected, but somehow I doubt it.

It is obviously going to be a very emotional return, god only knows what she will go through but after reading how depressed she has been I'm encouraged that she feels strong enough to go.
