Obidos

Out of sync really but had to make our visit to Obidos a separate post
So many more shots I would like to have put on here as the village lends itself perfectly to a guy who's trigger happy on the camera










This refers to the local favourite tipple which is a very sweet cherry brandy
The laced cherries left in the bottle went really well with ice cream 
We bought a bottle early doors several weeks ago I hasten to add...















At least one of these occupants must have met their maker after a fall from the ramparts
Not a handrail in sight
















Time out at chef school..

Portugal West Coast

Right on cue after deciding to travel the west coast, the weather has turned
Its the same over the Algarve and Spain so guess it will pass in time, just as well really as my nose is peeling badly!
Still warm and muggy but took a while to find a brolly for the showers!



Bordeira beach all to ourselves..




Reggie Perrin springs to mind, great, super.....


Odeceixe beach taken from the van door
Listening to the waves crashing at night was so soporific


The village at night with the same number of occupants as during the day..




Vila Nova de Milfontes
Completely unspoilt by tourism despite 2 campsites and numerous cafes
The sea spray here was all engulfing as was this moment for Nina



Small world..


The Old boys had games day nailed down..


No not fish again for tea!
