Some random pics and stories:-
Firstly, a complaint: - why do they insist on cutting the grass first thing every morning right outside our motor-home?
At least their mowers are quiet!
If there is ever a competition to see who has the biggest motor-home in the area, the Germans always win. They take their technology very seriously.

Unfortunately we struggled to wake up early enough to catch the full effect of the lunar eclipse so only managed to see the very final stages.
And finally, a quick story I forgot to tell on our Tavira day out.
After we had failed to get a meal in a restaurant we cycled to the Lidl to pick up some food to eat back at the motor-home. By now we were both quite hangry and struggling to find anything suitable. The shop was fairly quiet and a Portuguese announcement came over the speakers followed by the English translation, as it sometimes does. I caught the tail end and the gist of it was that they were closing till 4 and we must not put anything else on the belt. I know a lot of shops do close for siesta although not usually the larger chains but this seemed a bit extreme. Seeing our chances of getting any food evaporate before my eyes I grabbed Toni and said we had to make a dash for the cash register, which we did. I was surprised to see some people still calmly shopping in the store, and looking around I saw that it was in fact only Till 4 that was closing...
Toni hasn't let me forget!!!
We're still enjoying it at Route 66; running, cycling and walking (and getting washing done... the eternal motorhoming chore). We love rural Portugal. The weather is not brilliant but it is the same all over the Algarve and the Costas so there is no reason to move at the moment. And, compared to the snow that is battering Europe, this weather is positively summery!
