Month: November 2017

Set off for Evora this morning. Called in at a small town called Alcacovas on the way to look at a big church….’cos we haven’t seen any of those for at least 24 hours. The locals all stared at us

Packed everything away this morning and left without a single rattle from any of the cupboards – must be getting good at this game! Also got to use the campsites pay as you go vacuum cleaner on the way out.

Big night out tonight folks!! ….and back at base for 8pm! After a couple of hours cleaning (still no hoover 😢) we decided to walk to the headland to watch the sun set. It felt like a pilgrimage along with

OMG 😮It was sooo cold this mornIng. We’d managed to get three red lights on the control panel. Run out of fresh water, grey water tank needed emptying and the leisure battery didn’t have enough power left to give us

Carried on meandering up the coastal road this morning towards Aljezur and called in at Praia da Amoreira. Another great surfy beach that we looked down on from a headland. The countryside started to look a bit greener and more

Along the coast this morning to Sagres. Distinct change in temperature purely due to the cold breeze coming off the Atlantic. Henry the Navigator’s fort sits at the headland and as we walked up to it we realised everyone else

Decided to stay put for another day. Thought we’d try the walk over the hill to the next village called Salema. Guy put his walking boots on, which is always a big worry for me as it means it could
