Castelo do Bom Jesus Braga

Feeling like a couple of drowned rats since having set ashore on the Continent, we felt it time to head south to Portugal with all haste. Having awoken to another damp morning, in Luarca, we quickly packed up and hit the road. Several hours later, and we found ourselves in Portugal, pitching our tent (the first time since leaving GB) on a pretty much deserted site (save for all ...

... without the normal care and as we were going along we suddenly realized that the caravan had become detached. Fortunately the breakaway cable had worked. We reversed and reattached her, no harm having been done. We then had to do a 50 mile detour to get to the camp site. We spoke to other camper and caravaners who had had great ...

... gaan, maar dat komt grotendeels door de hardnekkige mist. Ik probeer weer een aantal korte video's te uploaden: de belboei bij Ramsgate, het hijsen van de vlag in Portugal, de vissen in de haven (we drijven echt in een aquarium) en misschien nog een paar andere stukjes.

After a night of heavy rain in which there was occasionally a raindrop heavy enough to splash the condensation on the inside of the tent on us, it stopped raining. We woke up, showered, got ready for a great hike, got our backpacks ready, and headed to the top of hill out of our campsite. Once at the top, it thundered. Then Kevin realized he forgot his sunglasses. We headed back to the car for the sunglasses and as the clouds looked really threatening, decided to wait for ...

... were equally bad.  We finally found it just after 10 and reception was closed.  Luckily, the nightwatchman let us in and pick any pitch we wanted that was open.  We could barely see the signs so found a spot between two camper vans.  I patched up the tent with velcro and then we set up the tent for the night.  We decided not to eat as it was so late and we couldn't see a thing anyway.  Once we were set up we went to find water and realized we set the tent up in the wrong ...

... amazing to see that these houses were just ordinary homes for ordinary people. In Leeds, Liverpool or London these would be a developers dream, converted to flats selling for a small fortune. The main town above these was very pleasant indeed, with many narrow and picturesque streets between modern thoroughfares, delightful old houses and majestic palaces. The Cathedral at the very top could have been a great visit, but ...

... que eu gostaria de fazer coincidem horários. Já assisti algumas aulas e grande parte foi excelente, sempre tem um professor picareta, mas ao contrário do que, em geral, estamos acostumados no Brasil ele é uma excessão e não uma regra. Morar na residência também é bem legal, apesar do quarto ser meio velho e apertado. Mas, a melhor parte de estar na moradia estudantil é a oportunidade de conhecer os Erasmus (já que como eu disse, grande parte dos portugueses não tem sido ...

... Ponte de Lima dans un parc majestueux sous les platanes 5) Marche (foire marchande...pas facile sans les accents!) du lundi qui a lieu de puis l'an 1125 Top nul: 1) Marcher pendant 2 heures sur un bord de route style 112 ou 117 mais avec aucun accottement et des murs de Quinta en roche hauts et de 8 pieds de chaque bord 2) Ratter une fleche et se faire dire par une vieille madame que le chemin n est ...

... exploring Braga a bit and doing some research for Spain. Braga is a very pretty little town a nice place to stroll around, although its a shame about the massive mcdonalds right in the middle of the centre square. Tommorow we leave to go back to Lisbon for two nights before flying to madrid on Monday. Hope you are all well, please keep the messages coming. Lots of Love xxxx

... shrimp for dinner. There were probably 20 floors worth of stairs from the river to our hotel. We all made it an early night as to avoid the children in the street. The next day we took a tour of the city. We ate dinner in an all glass restaurant, then went back to our apartment and had strawberries and wine. This is where I developed my taste for wine. I actually like it now.
