Time to try the van with a fourth companion. My mum joined us and we managed to make it even more interesting trying out food poisoning, the flu and all sorts of rashes that same week. However we pulled through, and also celebrated our girl turning 5. Cake, presents and the opportunity to be boss for the day - great success! Lourinha Took a day with friends at Dinosaur Park. Apparently Lourinha has a Big amount of dino findings and a lot of dinosaurs named after the town. Lik

We heard a lot of great things about Portugal; beautiful, great surf and being able to park anywhere. So there was a lot to live up to... It’s really growing on us having been here for a while now, finding our favourite spots to stay and enjoying some great views and meeting a lot of nice people to hang with here. And the surf... oh yes! Belmonte Ended up here by taking a wrong turn, which turned out really good. Watching the sun set behind Torre at Serra de Estrela, the high

I love this place, even though we have all had our first surf injuries, the nights have been too hot for my liking, a bird shat on me, and we have had a few weird wake up calls* It is all forgotten 'cause of the charm, the surf in the mornings, cafés and shopping in the afternoon and dinner on the beach lifestyle.

Bags, everywhere in the van, the bed, the clothes, the pockets and the bed. To be honest, there is sand coming out of my ears. So we dec

Really getting the hang of vanlife now, parking outside a castle and feeling ever so great. Not always having electricity and wifi and thinking it’s alright. I actually started reading a book the other day. Chambord This castle is stunning, we passed it on a trip before and this time we thought, why not stay this time.

If autobahn taught us anything its the frase Stau gefahr, yepp that means this is gonna a take a while. I was even cleaning up the van on the way, anyone who knows me knows cleaning is not my fave thing to pass my time with, so oh yeah there was time to be passed. Cochem, Mosel valley Stunning valley with wine ranks on the sloping hills down towards river Mosel. Biking around on great bike roads and hiking up to look at old castle Reichsburg. Totally impressed with all the se
