Rio do Guadiana III ⚓: Guerreiros do Rio

From Foz de Odeleite it was only a handful of miles to our next anchorage at Guerreiros do Rio. From here we took the richly European funded road to Laranjeiras. Along the way we spotted a bunch of orange and lemon trees! I absolutely could not resist leaving all of them hanging there while I could hear them call my name.

Not coincidentally, this little town Laranjeiras, with about 11 inhabitants lays in the valley of the orange tree hills. Laranjeiras actually translates to This little fun fact we learned at the archeological findings in the small town. It includes the remains of a couple houses and a chapel from Roman and Moorish times.

On our way back we ended up on the camino pequeña or grande again by accident. Over the hill, meadows and past the sheep we were afraid we had lost our track for a second, but luckily we were able to find our Nimrod again.

From here on the evenings and nights started to become a lot colder than we were used to. As soon as the sun set it would become chilly. As a result, we would have very early nights for the rest of our time on the river. We watch some of our anchor show Sons of Anarchy, play some board games or listen to an audio book. Most nights we were in bed by 21:30😴 Lovely.Read more
