April showers....

To wrap up the month, we've been chilling here at our most recent secluded paradise right on the shore...at camping a Vouga in Galicia!

For the last two days of April, rain was on the cards, but as luck would have it, the days have been sunny and so much of our time has been spent between frisbee down on the beach, swims between the small coves, searching for seashells and reading for hours (we got a few crime novels off the bookshelf here at the Campingplatz, initially to pass the few rainy days...luckily books are great companions for all weather) ...its also a treat that we could "eat out" at the restaurant here and sink our teeth into a fine fresh seafood platter, which of course tastes even better while gazing out to sea....
