After a night of torrential rain we woke to a brightish morning however it was pretty windy and the calm lagoon was seriously choppy, first time we've seen any sort of movement on the water since we've been here. Tess wasnt feeling too good either and had thrown up 3 times before we started to pack up. It was difficult to leave as the town is so nice and welcoming but we have so much more to see. So water filled waste emptied and off we went. Only half an hour or so down the road with a quick stop off at Pingo Dolce to replenish supplies.Læs mere

Evening walk around the walled town, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Sun is shinning this morning so moving on to do a bit of sightseeing, only a few minutes drive away but looking forward to a good day.Læs mere

Bit of sightseeing on our way to the next stop. What a fantastic place. 35 hectares and over 2000 statues and art works all set in incredible landscaped gardens. Wish we could park inside and spend more time here.
Plus a gift shop that doesn't rip you off. There's a winery attached to the gardens and four bottles of their own sparkling wine for €11.Læs mere

After visiting Buddha Eden this aire was only a five minute drive away. Not sure if there's much around but an ideal stop off after a days sightseeing.
After arriving and setting up we took a walk around the town, it's a uninspiring place, like many towns all over the world, it looks like it needs an influx of cash for regeneration. However unlike any town I've ever been to in the UK this place has a dedicated area set aside for motorhomes, with a drive over drain for grey waste, fresh water tap and a place to empty and wash the casette toilet. These kind of facilities bring people in and there were 4 of us parked up last night.
After a old school Saturday night spent watching tv and eating pizza with home made chips this morning we are sat outside the local intermarche doing much needed laundry before heading off to the next location.....wherever that may be.Læs mere

After leaving Bombarral, washing laundered and a few items picked up from the intermarche we headed to Torres Vedra A Dos Cunhadas a little aire in the edge of a small town with services. We drove to the town and arrived at the aire feeling a little underwhelmed. It was nice enough but the views were nothing of note. So we topped up the water and headed to the seaside, again, arriving in Santa Cruz a little after 15 minutes of driving. No aire just off road parking on top of the cliffs looking out over the ocean. This afternoon we took a stroll around what is a really nice place busy with lots of bars, cafe's and resturants. We had to partake of the obligatory coffee and cake before making our way back to the van. The weather took a turn for the worse with light rain and a little wind. This evening will be movies and wine before either exploring more tomorrow or moving on further south.Læs mere

The sun broke through as we left this morning heading towards Lisbon. There's a motorhome accessories shop that we need to check out for the spares needed to repair the broken awning. It's right on the edge of Lisbon and took some finding. They had 1 of the 2 items needed so it wasn't a total bust. Tonight's aire is just the other side of the river so we skirted around Lisbon to get there. We were so close and I imagine it's a wonderful city but was just too busy for us so past it we went.
Tommorw will see us head further south and back to the coast.Læs mere

Woke up to more rain this morning, last night's aire was ok for what it was, a place to spend the night, but with the prospect of a wet day and views of several blocks of flats we upped sticks and moved on. The drive was only about 30 minutes but we figured if we were going to be stuck indoors all day then we might as well be somewhere with a decent view. So glad we did. Parked up right on the beach with a lovely little restaurant and bar just few steps away, plus after a short while the sun came out and all was good in the world.Læs mere

Decided to spend another day here as it was glorious sunshine when we woke up. Took a morning walk on the beach so Tess could have some time swimming then did the typical touristy thing. Deck chairs out, shorts on book in hand and the morning spent soaking up the sun. Think the locals that strolled past thought we were mad as they were all wearing coats, hats and scarves.
Tomorrow we will try and find a parking spot in Setúbal as there's a market on.Læs mere

It was hard leaving our last beach front location. Free WiFi and a bar/restaurant a few feet away, not to mention the amazing beach. Anyway off we went passing through Setúbal. We parked up by the docks and had a wander around the large indoor market. All fresh produce and locally caught sea food. Shopping done we carried on to the aire in Comporta. Services carried out and off we went to explore the town. Nice, with some lovely quirky bars and resturants, however the aire, although functional, didn't have the views we are used to so we set off just 2 minutes down the road. Nice parking area and just a stone's throw from another amazing beach. Part of the afternoon was spent sitting in the sunshine with a beer watching the waves.
Tonight's meal was fresh tuna with pasta and salad. Delicious.Læs mere

After weeks of wild camping and Aires we decided it was time to settle for a couple if days so booked into a site. We chose wisely. As soon as we arrived check in was very good and when we saw the facilities it got even better. Pitches are nice and open with plenty of space, toilet block is probably the best I've seen anywhere. There's a pool, bar and restaurant all within a few meters of us. The day was spent doing laundry and tidying the motorhome then on the evening we took a walk around Porto Covo. Lots of development going on and some stunning properties. The town is welcoming with some great resturants and bars and we took the opportunity to dine in an Italian. Food was excellent as was the service and very well priced.
This morning I took a ride out on the bike while Jayne went for a jog around town. Think we have already decided to stay a few more days.Læs mere
