... beach. We definitely had chosen the wrong day to surf here; tide going out, steep beach! Nevertheless, there are always other beaches and it was back up the coast to Fao, where Lym (Annabelle was a little chilly) once again donned his suit and out he went. Lo and behold, was up on the first wave, and the second, the third.... Following a meal of barbecued chicken risotto ...

We drove through the rain and Jessica (sat nav) took us up into the mountains. When she wanted us to do a sharp hairpin bend that was impossible with the caravan we had to carry on to a dead end in the road. As the rain got heavier we had to unhitch the caravan, turn round and rehitch and retrace our route. Unfortunately we did it very ...

... 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.

Kevin got vegetable soup and I got coriander (cilantro) soup. Mine wasn't very good - it was just water with oil, bread and cilantro. Once I had some of the cilantro, I noticed it wasn't alone in the bowl.

On Thursday Kevin was up by 8 and moving around, which I couldn't do.  Mainly because Kevin slept diagonally to ensure he had enough room to stretch out.  I thought I would be fine since I tend to sleep like a roly poly bug that has just been picked up, but it turns out I felt the need for space which I didn't have.  That and Kevin invented a new way of snoring.  I'm not sure if it was the allergy medication or if he was having a bad dream but he seemed to master both circular ...

... of several amazing bridges in Porto, including one built by Eiffel in 1877. We took the funicular railway back down to the Ribeira and lunched in one of the riverside restaurants. It was very pleasant sitting out on the riverbank until a bitter wind blew up and we had to beat a hasty retreat to the restaurant indoors! After lunch it was drink time. Given that there are 58 Port lodges on the south bank, of which 20 do ...

... todas as viagens que eu fizer. Braga é uma cidade, que pros padrões brasileiros não seria considerada sequer de médio porte, no entanto não perde em quase nada para as cidades brasileiras de mesma população. Aqui tem de tudo que uma cidade grande pode oferecer e ainda conserva um ar de interior, especialmente quando se anda no centro histórico. Apesar dos portugueses, em geral, não serem muito simpáticos (especialmente com brasileiros), a cidade é bastante ...

... Then they start feeling pockets of everyone going by. I thought it was funny so I started videotaping on my camera. That's when it happened: The little boy saw my camera, his eyes lit up like it was Christmas and he took off running; STRAIGHT FOR MY CAMERA. So Here I am filming the kid patting down Brian when all of a sudden the next thing I know is my camera is being manhandled by ...
