First of all apologies to all those who thought they have added a post. Only Deb has managed it so far and tells me it is not very easy. I know others have tried. If I find out what the problem is I'll let you know (unless Deb can add a post telling us all how she did it!). Many thanks to all those who are reading the updates.
We zoomed across the plains of Spain last week overnighting in Salamanca before entering Portugal on a wonderful, empty mountainous motorway. We stopped for 4 nights at a nature reserve opposite Aveiro. Lagoon to the east and ocean to the west. Had a great meal yesterday at a Pousada. Started with cockle pies (P) and strips of fried cuttlefish (me) followed by Bacalau - cod (P) and grilled tiger prawns (me). Rather expensive but in general Portugal is very cheap compared with France and N Europe. We have just arrived outside Porto right on the Atlantic and hope to sample the eponymous beverages during the week.
All the best
picture is me trying to learn a bit of Spanish at our latest site.
We should have planned a little better as we were in Barcelona until the end of September! Maybe our paths could have entwined! Starting to get chilly and miserable here and we are all fed up so may rename the house -'The Doldrums' - thank you for letting us share in your sunshine and adventures! Love from us all Jane xxx
