Like mooing livestock we filed through Stansted Airport to our boarding gate for our flight to Porto, Portugal. Millions of people + hundreds of regional airports ='s cheap flights around Europe#. With the likes of Ryan Air you'll experience travel conditions below cattle-class so Michelle had the foresight to buy us priority boarding. This almost got us first in the boarding queue (a determined family of Spaniards pipped us). We got the unlimited foot room of front row seats on the 737. No need to be a scoundrel and claw-back a few precious inches with the seat clamp. Both of us [View Full Entry]

Hey all, So, we wrote a blog earlier to catch everyone up on our travels but as soon as we pushed published, for some reason, all was lost. That was back on the 3rd. So now begins the somewhat painful task of catching up since before that. Jan and I have agreed that we would do best just to summarize: (July 30, 31, 1) Malaga: Shit Hole. (August 2, 3) Seville: Great City. (August 4) Night Train from Seville, Spain to Lisbon, Portugal (August 5, 6) Lisbon: FANTASTIC CITY. Great two days. (August 7) Porto: Expected it to be a shit [View Full Entry]

My journey to Porto didn’t exactly get off to a smooth start. I knew I had to catch a train to Coimbra B railway station but wasn’t sure which train to catch. I couldn’t see the train status screen. The bane of the blindy on the road. There were two trains waiting to leave so I had to make a choice. Naturally I made the wrong choice on the advice of a guy waiting on the platform. Got on the train which was totally empty. I waited a minute or two and still no other passengers. I saw people walking toward [View Full Entry]

This was written on a roadsign and it just might be correct for me, as I had a great experience of life there. Lady Luck was on my side when I was looking for a place to stay in the north. Magic internet helped me find Vitor and his family. I guess almost by accident as I almost never use the site I used. They made me feel wellcome, despite my poor poruguese speaking skills and spoiled me to the limits with the great food of the lady of the hous (mum) and by being drivene absolutely everywhere you can imagine!

Howdy y'all! I don't even know if this is spelled correctly. Whatever. I was in Bragança a few days ago and this entry is about my time spent there. This town is bigger than I expected, very hot and white. Without a doubt on a hill, but more than one, which made me walk a lot more than I should, 'cause I got lost all the time. Didn't mind the map in my hands... it was too hot to think, so I just kept walking. :) I stayed for two nights with the intention to see the Natural (or National?) Park [View Full Entry]

Crossed into Spain on the 19th, leaving the glitzy beach resort of Biarritz behind. The entry into Spain was non-existent took us a while to realise we had changed countries! Drove along the Spanish north coast past the busy beach resorts of San Sebastian and Zarautz, spending the night at Santander. It took two attempts to get Clancy up the hill in the campsite after she stalled at the top. Enjoyed our first Cerveza and pinchos in town that night. Next day was a fast tracked pilgrimage to Santiago de Compestella where we mixed with the Christian pilgrims who had made [View Full Entry]

June 29, 30, 2008 PORTO, Portugal This was a bit of a long drive ( 5 hours ) from Santander through a couple of small mountain ranges to the north coast of Portugal. Our “GPS Lady” ( sometimes referred to as something not so polite ) took us a little off course with some new roads that have been opened that obviously were not on our GPS maps yet. We are getting spoiled and can’t even read a map anymore ! Made it to our destination safe and sound with a diversion through the city of Porto and back north to [View Full Entry]
