Once again we drove for what seemed like hours.. from Spain into Portugal.. dreading the border only to find it was overgrown and unused. No border control... yeehaa!
This days driving was another through the Pyranees with very long suspension bridges and tunnels and stunning scenery which we couldnt capture on camera. Well perhaps if we had a death wish it would have been ok but as we didnt fancy being fined or whatever they do in this neck of the woods.
We arrived in Castello Blanco or Casta de blanco depending on whose memory is correct only to stay the night.
This was, to date, one of our biggest nightmares finding somewhere to stay. We arrive in brilliant weather.. hot as... parked in the main street to ask about hotels only to find in the centre they were astronomical prices and absolutely nowhere to park a Van (or car for that matter) we went slightly out of town and with tempers fraying we finally found somewhere reasonable.
When we took our stuff inside I (Vicki) was to go back outside and close the sunroof.. and with a memory like a sieve I forgot!! Big mistake. The following morning we awoke to, once again, torrential rain and to absolutely soaked front seats! Not good.. I will say no more.
Once again we were on our way towards the Algarve and some, fingers crossed, sunny weather!!
Venice in the Winter
Picture perfect ... even me!

Don't worry Vicki, my memory is shot too. Wet seats? You would be used to that wouldn't you :-)Nothing like a good joke to get you going.
Love Michaela
