PortugalHello form Aguda, Portugal. I left this morning from Santiago at 615 am. A couple of train rides later, I find myself in Aguda...a beach town that compares to York/York Beach with a little OOB thrown in during the summer. Right now, it is pretty calm....a huge beach and crazy surf but nobody on the beach due to the wind. I arrived at around one and had a talk with one of the Fire/EMS guys at theRead more
PortugalGood morning to everyone. As I write this, I am sitting in a downtown hostel...literally named “Downtown Hostel”. Not a terrible place but it is still the whole bunk room thing but they are cheap sooo... I walked through the city last evening and had dinner on the river...some local specialty...ham, chorizo and steak covered with cheese and a spicy sauce and of course, Portuguese red wine. TheRead more
Kathy LevasseurH O M E!!!!❤️ You should think about redecorating with a touch of Spain 🇪🇸 especially out by your cool 🔥 pit!!
Phils TravelBlog SpainThank you Jay! You of all people would be amazed at the history here!
PortugalHey from Porto, Portugal! I am a day behind with the whole blogging thing...I do apologize. There are a a lot of things that come into play...mostly WiFi issues. It does not take a strong WiFi connection to blog but it does effect the uploading of the photos....bad WiFi can take up to an hour or more to upload photos. Anyway, I spent the day yesterday on the beach in Aguda. A great day butRead more
Daisy SmithSo glad you had a good beach day. Also happy you found good bunks at night and didn't end up spending the night there!
Portugal
At the end of the hikes we relaxed a bit in the natural sea water pools of Porto Moniz.
Und am Ende des Tages haben wir dann noch ein bisschen in den natürlichen Meerwasserpools von Porto Moniz entspannt.
PortugalPorto really is a unique city and a bit more quiet than super busy and touristic Lisbon. Here, we especially enjoyed the view while crossing the Douro on the cities’ famous two-level bridge Ponte Luis l and while sitting in the park right on the other riverside (in Gaia) watching Paddington Bear rocking on his guitar 🐻🎸. Another must do is the river boat cruise to the 5 or 6 differentRead more
PortugalWe are here because we saw a video on Facebook of Huge surf. Very foggy today. Not a great beach day. We also managed to park on top of an answer this last night so had a proper infestation this morning. Oscar also wet the bed, and then got into our Bed and then wet that so we’ve had to have a proper Spring clean.
Roger WellsDid you mean an ants nest? If so that must have been awful, as well as having all the extra laundry. Do you have to find a laundrette to do the washing and has he had many accidents?
Roger WellsBlack flag day today for your motor home- it’s the 41st anniversary of Elvis’s death.xx
PortugalWalked all the way down the hill this morning to the riverbank to visit the old area a bit more. Quite touristy but a lovely walk along the river bank. Caught the river taxi to the other side of the banks where all of the port cellars are.
PortugalSupposedly one of the most popular resorts in Portugal. Very vibey promenade, and a beautiful beach. Chilly though. We all have long sleeve T-shirts on today. It’s where the world serve Championships often held. Google the waves!
Roger WellsThat monastery is there - smidgeon south and inland. Colder and raining here.
Roger WellsI have looked at the waves! The boys certainly won’t be doing any surfing there!
PortugalWe treated ourselves to a private ride in a tuk tuk with some of the money that you gave us. It was 40 Euros and Worth every penny so we didn’t have to go up and down all the hills! Our driver was called Katrina and she was brilliant, spoke perfect English and gave us a tour of the Harry Potter highlights as well as the old town. We saw the Broom shop apparently inspiration for broom shop inRead more
Roger WellsWhat a beautiful town and so much history. We are so glad that you spent some of the money on a treat as that was what it was intended for. It sounds as though you are really enjoying yourselves there.
PortugalHad a bit of a result as we went into the only car park that could accommodate motorhomes that was fairly central. There were no spaces so when I went to pay so we could X it the man told us we could park on the ramp and stay for up to 2 years. We now have The most beautiful parking space with a view to die for in the centre of Porto.
Roger WellsYou seem to have your dads luck for parking although he never got the views! xx
