Just a quick update from a Cyber Cafe in Cascais Portugal, near Lisbon.
Can´t believe it´s been almost a week already. Had a great send off from Epping, Essex. Bacon "sarnie" and all!. Thanks to Rick and Viv for their hospitality for our last week in England. It was great!
Headed off on LD Lines from Dover, after picking up some last minute supplies on the way... some clean fuel for the fuel stove and other essentials like that!
We spent 2 nights in France, one camped in the bush right on the ocean which was nice. Have been avoiding the toll roads so travelled through some really quiant little French villages... great meal and vinho in Bordeaux :)
From there a couple of nights in Northern Spain, Basque country. Absolutely beautiful scenery... really enjoyed wandering around San Sebastian.
We headed south-west from there... I got to drive the really, really, steep bits... across some very very high bridges... not good when you´re scared of heights!
We wandered through Salamanca... enjoyed the great architecture
Now in Portugal... Have visited Coimbra, the beaches of Nazare, spent a nice afternoon drinking Super Bock in Sintra and are now in Cascais near Lisbon. Had a great meal last night at a restaurant overlooking the sea... pity that while we were enjoying the meal and the vinho, the car got broken into... Laptop was stolen and a few other little bits and pieces... but they´ve caused us more hastle than the value of the items... oh well....
Off to fix the lock of the car now, have already had the fun of lodging a police report in a foreign country.... then the joys of insurance claimn. Will need to find a more secure way of storing a computer... Kensington lock through a bolt to the chassis was not sufficient. Not the way I wanted to spend our last couple of days in beautiful portugal. Them the joys of travel I spose. Just glad we had backups of everything... ... Will write a better update before we head off to Morocco on Monday.
