Opening the cork to our bottle of local cider, in Llanes, Spain. We had a quiet day in today to keep dry from the rain. (I thought it never rained in Spain?) |
Tasty octopus and sangria at Santiago De Compostela. A little overrun by tourists so we're heading back to the coast tomorrow - bound for Porto! |
Playing chicken with the big waves on a beach near Nazare, Portugal. The waves always win, but great fun. |
Bye bye Portugal. Well hello there again Espanha! |
Marveling at the incredible architecture in Valencia. |
Stopped off for a night at a beautiful pebbly beach campsite on our way to Barcelona to catch up with The Don. |
Did a spot of "wild camping" last night in Elexalde as the campsite was too full to fit Smurfy. |
Gini makes a new friend "Azreal" in Llanes, Spain. No, we cant take her with us. |
Amazing beach after amazing beach as we drive and swim our way west along Spains coast. |
Back to the coast we reach. This one the north coast of Portugal. Beautiful weather but cold seas! |
Porto's porto with old town behind. Another beautiful day in paradise. |
Port tasting surrounded by vineyards at Quinta Nova vineyard. It's about 40 degrees here so we're looking forward to returning to the sea breeze! |
Delicious fish stew and quite possibly the best bread Tom has tasted. Aveiro, Portugal. |
5* camping outside of Sintra? No, but it feels like it. Nice to have a pool to cool off in. |
Biking through the mist of Parque Natural de Sintra Cascais on the way to Sintra Vile |
A quick stop at Lisbon's castle before we head out east, Spain bound (via a final Portuguese night in Evora). |
A spot of rain out the door this morning just south of Alicante. Pretty happy we're not in a tent at this point! |
Never far from a dip to cool off in, in Toledo, Spain. Campsite has a massive 25m pool! Delicious. |
Cool dude with his new hat and his cool spray fan. Swim time! Yay for the warm water of the Med! |
Catching up with some old (Nat) and some new (Marcus) friends near Alicante. Two nights in a real bed in a real villa! What a treat! |
Enjoying some quiet time in Madrid's fantastic Parque del Retiro. |
Smurfy spent last night at a police impound in Barcelona after getting broken into and noticed by police and towed away! So very lucky that nothing was stolen. Counting our lucky stars today. |
Caught up with Don and Salina in Barcelona for two nights. Lots of fun and great food! |
Sunset swim and wild camping near Montepiller tonight. Beautiful beach. Back to the familiarity of France. |
Waiting for the lake ferry in Menaggio to return to Bellagio after a day of visiting the pretty surrounding villages. |
Expresso macchiatto with the Turner parents in Bellagio, Lake Como. |
