After a stormy night (I slept through it!) we woke up to thunder and lightning. It broke after breakfast and we then had a long deliberation about changing pitches! Eventually we decided to try the one opposite which looked fairly level but not so much sun. It also meant I’d have to reverse out when we leave, which will be OK if the pitch behind is empty but slightly more difficult if it’s occupied. Still I’ve had a look at the small beginnings of a hedge in front of the van and if push comes to shove I can drive over it and straight onto the road!
After lunch it stopped raining so we went for a walk into town. Very nice promenade for walking or cycling, lots of cafés open and small restaurants. Found a supermarket close to the camp as the one on site has very little to choose from, no fruit or veg etc. Lynn found hairdressers who could do her hair then and there, so went in to get a trim! I’d offered to do it with the trimmers which Lynn was up for but Sarah said over her dead body!
We had a walk along the promenade, did a little shopping before returning to the van for the usual coffee and cake, just as the heavens opened. Everyone had said how much cheaper Portugal was compared with Spain, but so far it seems the same or more expensive? We have found a 5lt box wine for just over 5euros which is not bad and by the second glass is tasting quite good!
Having Tapas for supper tonight, my chicken wings are in the fridge marinating, Lynn’s cooking her potato mix and Sarah is doing Chorizo sausages in red wine. All served up with French bread and more glasses of red wine, we’re getting too used to this lifestyle!
