Day 15
Ourem
June 15, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Yet another castle! Last one I promise! Actually closed for rebuilding works so I had to climb over barriers to get in, but this is Portugal, so no one minds. Another Templar construction.

Had a serious amount of rain last night, almost biblical portions. Eating outside at the time but the huge sun umbrella kept the rain off till we finished our meal and as we couldn't leave was ' forced' to have a second bottle of wine. Food was great. I had turkey Cordon Bleu, Lynne had pork steak with boiled spuds and broccoli. That plus olives to start and 2 bottles of wine total cost 26 euro! Beat that anywhere in the euro zone!!Read more

Day 22
A local restsurant
June 22, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Went out for a meal at one of the nearby local restaurants, very good value for money. The first pic is my belly pork which with a dessert , coffee and 2 beers came to 9.50 euro. The second pic is of the pork hock which with the crafe of wine also cost 9.50 a bargain.

Weather been shit for the passed few days, had rain and it's unseasonal cold. But I think this strange weather is all over Europe including UK. A few days ago it almost reached 30 and will do so again on Thursday so just s blip.Read more

Day 24
Getting ready
June 24, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
We are winding down now, although 'being wound up' would be a better description! Thank you Boris! Been trying to book a day 8 test only as we already purchased the day 2 before we left. This has proved to be impossible. Everyone wants to sell you the day2/day8 package at 200 quid a pop.

Anyway we managed to complete our passenger locator forms using our day 2 reference only and will now buy 1 day2/ day8 package, after all is the same sodding test.

Had a few nice nights sitting in the local square and off to a BBQ for lunch. Got a pre departure covid booked for 11 am tomorrow and then drive to Porto. Night in hotel to get ridiculously early 6:30 flight to Stanstead, then midday bus to Luton to pick up car. Be home Saturday Inshalla!

Pic is of boring washing but has to be done and our local village squareRead more

Went for a lunch time drink to meet some friends in a old town called Coja. Typical village square with bars and cafes, but a bit quite now as a result of covid. Would normally be market day but that was cancelled.Read more

Day 1
Leaving the UK
June 1, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Well the one thing I forgot to add to my list of problems while booking this holiday was that they also changed my car parking at the airport. After booking in the long term car park I received an email stating it was closed and directed me to mid term car park.

So we arrived at the mid term car park to find barrier won't let us in. Fortunately a guy was at hand to help us, and with his help we contacted customer service on the intercom. Although the call wasn't directed to an Indian call centre, it might just have well been!! Couldn't understand a word he said!! Luckily the guy physically in the car park was able to translate.

The long term car park had just opened that morning so I could now go and park there, not that anyone told me. However, as I had all the documentation of the change I could park were I was and explain it on my return. So we stayed where we were.

For some unexplained reason, there were no buses running from the our car park to the airport, so we had an enjoyable 10 minute walk with all our luggage across the dual carriageway, along the fume filled underpass and up the hill to the airport terminal on the hottest day of the year so far!

Amazingly, I have had better starts to a holiday!

The pictures show the departure lounge at Luton airport!Read more

Just a portugese village
June 17, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
While driving to town to go shopping we pasted this small village with some Roman remains. The arch, pillars and some of the road/square are Roman.

Also, the village still had the community clothes washing station (last pic).

There small cobbled stone villages like this all over the area.Read more
