Lenny's heading for France & beyond

[JHuwJ]

Interesting water wheel, water is collected in the terricoter jugs on the paddles and discharged into a chute that takes the water off for crop irrigation.

The photos you’ve been posting on this trip have really opened my eyes to Portugal. We hope to spend three months in Europe from next March and I can see us trying to follow your current route through the country. Thanks. Except for the M541

Another one Judith jumartoo will like, one way system in a small town, if we had a wider van I don't think we would have made it.

It's the roof over hangs I hate.

Oh Lenny, no sound Wanted to hear the sounds, when you said " Oh Fu@* "

Lenny i would love you to try and follow me on our Aussy trip soon.
It's a case of not a lot to see but so much to see.
Sat Nav gives instructions like 100 yards turn left and go straight for 745 Ks.
It's different.

I know what you mean, when staying in Perth, I decided to take a short day trip to Wave Rock, big mistake, arrived 5 hours later, spent 30 minutes looking around, then a long drive back, to top it all my uncle it turned out needed his insulin (now he tells me), Dash to get back, it was the longest drive of my life, had the missus looking on the mobile for nearest hospital, nearest one 300Km, was totally exhausted by the time we got back.

Wave Rock and Hippo Rock are at Hayden. Yes a good drive from Perth, specially in a day.

Sorry Lenny. Won't do it again

How can that be classified as 'narrow' when it has centre-line markings, which can only applied if both sides of the road can accommodate a 2.5m vehicle.

Castelo Branco wasn't worth the effort, first let down we have had on this trip.

 

[Lenny HB]

A couple of shots of the municiple park/gardens, they were quite nice to wander around.

And what we came to see, Jardim do Paço Episcopal, they were a bit of a disappointment.
They look better in the photos.

Love this one.

 

[Lenny HB]

Starting to make our way back now.
We were going to stop the night in Sabugal and visit the csstle, the camper stop was uninviting so we are 9km down the road by the reservoir, very pleasant.

Its very busy here.

I wonder if that feeling of starting to head back colours the experience? We’ve struggled last couple of days … didn’t ’feel’ Spain at all so back in Portugal …

when is your return crossing?

Don't think so the photos make the town & the gardens look far better that they are.

Ferry from Dieppe week Friday 31st.

It often colours our view for a few days.

Makes you wonder why the water doesn't all run out

 

[G-RMPS]

Maybe it’s heavy water (D2O).

It was the best of times, it was the wurst of times……..

After yesterday's disappointment the little castle at Sabugal was a delight.

The keep is a rare 5 sided one and it's one of the highest in Portugal.
Even better wrinkles get in free.
