Typical...

I can never do anything right... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

(I don't have any white things... I think what you see are the pockets of the trousers... always turn them inside out when washing them... I suppose that's not the right way either!)


Anyway... all done now... supermarket shopping... footy... and off to Pego Altar tomorrow.

Thanks for all your good wishes.

First leg completed. Parked peacefully at Pego Do Altar.

The lake is pretty full and pretty.

The cool stray dog we call Jamie recognises the Hymer and limped all the way across the dam to get his treat.



20140219_174053_zps200f93a1.jpg



He is really two faced though because the moment he has scoffed my offering he is off to find another sucker.

Never done a day's work in his life!

Sorry we missed you JJ, that's the attraction of Pedro's - he won't let you go with all his hospitality. Maybe next year, have a good drive.

I enjoyed a great night here last night.

An Off Site Motorhomers 3.75 out of 5 parking place.

There is a steam, outside tables and seats, a bin and a natural water pipe just across the road.

50 kms from Spanish Border...

Latest phase now complete...

Hymer is now parked outside the Princess's Palace...


Bit chilly... I guess these Northerners are pretty tough...

Not me... I have hit the button for the central heating.

With all the money I have saved by being a Freeloading Tosser only after what I can blag from decent folk I have enough cash to pay for GPL... :thumb:

After TWO DAYS of being without 24 hour internet I have reached Portugal and am connected again!

I left the VIP Invitation Only Balma Aire on Monday at 2 pm.

First night stopped here...

20140318_122327_zps3ac0e64b.jpg


An excellent spot for freeloading spendthrift off Siters like me...

Following night was spent in the land of the Macho Bull Torturers...

20140319_121231_zps865c449e.jpg


A beautiful view as long as you don't look down on the ground. Motorhomers didn't leave this mess... car driving house livers did... and some get their knickers in a twist about some washing up water...

Now back in my beloved Portugal... scruffy and cuddly...

just like me. :thumb:

Yesterday I decided to come into Portugal via Braganca instead of my usual Salamanca/Vilar Formoso route and I am glad I did...

Superb views.

Took some time to find a lay by for the night but got a great one in the end...

We left Portugal this year via Braganca - nice aire there at the bottom of the castle.

We took a small road over the border into Spain and to say the streets were narrow was a bit of an understatement - we were so engrossed at making sure we didn't hit any buildings that we did not take any photos we were just in awe of the medieval style of the village, however, we did download the film that was taken by our onboard cabcam, WOW, wish we knew how to download it on here.

The Germany adventure is over.

The Hymer is back parked next to The Wagon behind the electric gates of Estudio 33.

2460 kms round trip to Toulouse and back...


I now face several days slaving over a computer keyboard as punishment for slobbing around doing very little since November... then back out to play at Quinta Majay.
