First night and we saw these dancers.
The delay in posting another blog has been because we didn't buy a sim card for your phone in Portugal. This usually gives us a certain amount of data that we use on internet. Portugal has really turned it on. The Portuguese are very friendly people and no one cares where you park for the night. Our days have passed along many white sandy beaches with crystal clear water. Dan has been having a few kites along various lagoons and surf beaches. Makes us very regretfull that we couldn't buy paddleboards as that would be stella...not that they would fit in the van. Started in Porto where on our first night there was a festival 400m along the street with traditional portuguese dancing, churros and fireworks, really nice suprise.
We have since made our way down through Peniche, Obidos and Obidos Lagoa (lagoon), Guincho, Portimao, Faro and spent the last few nights in a little place called Fabrica.. Here are a few pics from the last few days.
PS yes Dan is noticably less hairy in some of these just in case your wondering who the other man is i'm with.
Love
