As with Greece, we do not have time to properly explore a country as big as Spain. So rather than just taking a peek, we head to the smaller Portugal. From overland adventurers to middle aged Brits on the Algarve! Oh the shame of it!? Not to worry, we can drown our sorrows in a bottle of 75p plonk!! Happy holidays!
Mon 12th Jan
We leave Monte Gordo, which is a nice place by the sea with a sandy beach and relaxed, calm atmosphere. Such a contrast to Morocco. We head along the coast, stopping here and there on the way. Portugal is very pretty. For the first time since leaving Sicily, tonight we wild camp! Quite a find in coastline so very, very popular with Motorhomes. A little bay that we have to ourselves, accessible only because we have Fay.
The bay is surrounded by sandstone cliffs of many colours. It reminds us of the intricate spice piles in the Istanbul Spice Bazaar. In places, amongst the scraggy surface of the cliffs, are lines of encrusted seashells. They shine out like a pearl necklace around the aged neck of a Granny.
