Portugal

Spent a fantastic 4 hours at Buddha Eden, unbelievable amount of works of art. Drove onto Mafra.

Cycled around the Peniche peninsular in the morning, stunning coastline. Spent the rest of the day laying on the beach watching the surfers.

Busy day, Alcobaça for GPL and InterMarche for washing and some provisions. On to Óbidos, a hilltop walled town, lovely. Ended up at Peniche next to the surfing beach for the night.

Drove down the motorway at great expense to Nazaré to see if there were any surfers to watch. Calm day so a walk along the very long beach and back in time for tea.

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.
