Gerraway !Many thanks to Paul and Jenny for their company for a few hours during the evening yesterday. Smashing Yorkshire chat with coffee and buns plus a very informative tour of the village. What a lovely couple.
After being engrossed in their stories we arrived a little too late to get a place on the €5 (HOW MUCH?) aire at Manta Rota but squeezed on the FREE motorhome section of the main car park.

The chairs are out of sight round the back just in case. Until the thunder, wind and rain came.

This windsurfer gave a superb example of how not to launch into an off shore hurricane. Exhausted after 10 minutes.
They do some great hats here.

My skin is so delicate I cant get anywhere near the sun
No way if folk not proper dressed.Jealous..
Nuff said.
Just watch out for pickpockets around the Cais do Sodre, station and docksides.. They're waiting for the unwary.
There's a well dressed guy , speaks many languages, asks you for 2 Euros, to give him enough money to make up the train fare home , having just had his pocket picked..
He puts on a good show.
Must do the vintage train ride.
Topless bus is good value too.
Although it’s nice to relax in the sun for a while we like to explore most of the places we visit. With the heat you enjoy we found we spent most of the day trying to keep in the shade (Ilkley moor bah tat comes to mind). Your company has been fabulous but we have more places in France we wish to check out so the trip will continue a while longer. Your call for coffee next time we pass, in the winter time perhaps Appen?By Gum..!
You don't hang about, do you.?
We're knackered, just following your progress.
Are you so desperate to get back to Blighty ?
Take it easy, enjoy the ride..
Stay safe, sane and a little selfish.
