In The Alentejo Country

---

We've found the sun in Portugal

We crossed Spain in some cold weather but amazing countryside and towns. We entered Portugal and stopped at Belmonte a little way from Salamanca. After various stops in some windy and cold weather we have come down to the Alentejo at a place called Monte Barao a little east of Sines south of Lisbon.

It is a nice campsite 1.5 km up a dirt track but with fine facilities and wifi we can connect with while sitting in the van.

Thanks for the messages from people. They are good to have. Also we are contactable through Skype if you have the connection.

Since we have been here we have not seen a cloud and it has been lovely though not as warm as in the summer. It is going up to 18C we think but at the moment it goes up to 13C.

Lots of love to all, Michael and Lesley
