Weather and things come in threes
Well Bob the weather has improved here in Portugal . Know what you mean about the problems with hire cars. We have had many over the years. At least now Suzy is ours so we have our own home on wheels with us. Things do seem to come together . We now think we may have problems with our Via toll box for Portugal. We have been onto motorways and the thing has made any noise at all to show it has registered us. We could be into three fines by now. It has worked on the overhead ones but not the ungated main ones. A real worry as we have just crossed the bridge tolled over the Tagus . Hopefully Christ the Redemer (or at least his statue ) will look kindly on us . I think the weather in Spain has improved too. We are off to Sintra and the palaces hopefully a bus journey and train away. Knowing our luck we will catch the wrong bus and the train will break down :)
