There are hundreds of these, all different! On Friday we decided to have a look at the peninsular near Pontevedra. Alas, it was not as pretty as we hoped being endless campsites and hotels, all closed. We spent the night by a beautiful long beach though and I went for a long walk along the sand, watching the surfers and collecting shells.
Yesterday we drove down the coast and had to keep stopping to take photos of the massive waves. We parked overnight right next to the sea and you could feel the pounding of the waves vibrating through the van!
Today we arrived in Portugal and have stopped at a campsite near Viana do Castelo to do some washing. We just managed to hang it out before the sun went in! I know absolutely no words in Portuguese so I had better start looking up some useful phrases, like "a large glass of wine please" or "where is the bar?"

Ola!
The walk in Cares Gorge looked amazing! Hope the weather improves now you're in Portugal. As for Portuguese - I happen to have a phrasebook so for the most essential phrases see below: Glass of wine please: En queria um copa de vinho rose, por favor? (or uma garrafa - bottle); Where's the bar: Onde e que ha um bar? This is hitting the spot: Esta a saber-me mesmo bem! I'm feeling drunk: Estou a sentir-me bebada. I feel ill: Sinto-me mal. Hope this is useful (apart from the last one - hopefully you wont be needing that). Love Cass and your mum and dad (who are here for dinner send their love)
