Portugal via London - 4

---

.

Our venture to the north of Portugal (and over the border).

The collective ‘episodes’ (this being the fourth) describe our journey from our departure from Oz, our arrival in London from the 3rd week of May and onto Portugal for a journey into the Portuguese culture and landscape. In the few weeks available to us, we cannot experience 'everything'. Even so, we'll do our best to enjoy all that is available.



This 'episode' describes our 'experience' as we make our way to the north of Portugal.



We attach a few pics to give a flavour of our journey, and some may 'flow over' past the dialogue. If we do this, you may need to manually go to the 'spillover' page to see them.



As always, if you want to 'see' more detail in an accompanying picture, click it to enlarge.
