Autumn 2018

Decided not to let Colin Co-Pilot navigate today and took the small roads down coast, one word, bumpy. At Lavos Praia where the motorhomes look like they are taking root. The recent storm certainly has left its mark on the landscape.

Had a scenic drive through the hills down to Aveiro. Parked under the motorway and had a lunchtime wander through Aveiro’s canal network. Sunny day so we drove to the beach at Praia da Costa Nova.

Only drove about 40 minutes to the spa town of Sao Pedro Do Sul. Had a good wander around the spa centre with lots of old people waiting for something. Cycled into Pedro town in the afternoon until it looked like rain.

30 mile ride on an old railway track starting just behind where we’re parked. Got back about about 2pm and Kay decided she was going to brave the hairdresser!

Decided to take the Electronic Toll Road today, £3 added to my credit card in an instant. Big shop at Lidl but we’re now full. Had a wander around Viseu before the rain started again.

Drove to S Salvador do Mundo for a fantastic view over the Douro River but not the weather for great photos. Then all the way down the hill to Celorico Da Beira, a hilltop town with a castle.
