Didn’t get to Minos. The shop seemed to be a priority. At to go to Beja before I found a shop of any size. And that was 30 odd miles past the Minos turn. Of course when I got there I had a choice of Intermarche, Lidl, Aldi and at least two more. For the first time, I found the shopping awkward, whether it was the layout of the store, my inability to speak Portuguese, other than obligardo. Google translate says I’ve got some pork steaks for tomorrow and Wednesday. Plenty of salad,bread and fresh milk , cereals are on the breakfast menu again.
Question for seasoned travelers. Why are Portuguese tomatoes not ripe. Spanish ones were to die for. Sweet, full of flavour. Bought some, ate one, the remainder are on the dash ripening, hopefully. Being addicted to ripe tomatoes is a pretty sad excuse to return to Spain.
I’m in an ex mining village called Lousal. Not quite sure what to say about this place. Not much to it, but perhaps the people who live here like it that way. Won’t be here long. Going to give Portugal another few days, and possibly return south. Need the sun. ?
Listened to the bl***y Tottenham game yesterday, only good bit was the result. As I said listened to it. Tonight’s Arsenal game. “Sorry we are unable to bring you this program on this platform “. Gonna get a VPN sorted for next trip. The ads say “ This is Your BBC “, okay let me listen to it then.
Moan over.
Not sure what I’m going to do tomorrow. Answers do not need to be on a postcard.
