Olhão

Tuesday 29/01/19


As planned we have back-tracked about 30 km (and 2 years) and are in a camping site we visited in 2017 - Olhao.  The weather forecast is a bit grim for the next few days so we have decided to hide amongst the pine trees, hooked up to power for the first time since Los Escullos in December.  


We have unfinished business here as we wanted to return to explore the area a bit more, and also buy some fresh fish and veg at the wonderful market.

We cycled around a bit of the area and popped in at the Intermarche, a local supermarket we visited last time we were here.  Toni suddenly remembered that it was at this shop that we had bought goats' butter then, as it was the only small container of butter we could find for our short trip and it was fantastic - we have been dreaming of that butter ever since!  We searched the store and managed to find some again...and it is every bit as good as we remembered.


At the campsite, we thought we had been skilled to maneuver Bokkie into quite a tight spot and were a bit shaken when a Swedish couple pulled in next to us in their even bigger motorhome.  We had a chat with them (they are really friendly - we like the Swedes!)  and they are leaving again tomorrow; I hope we are around to see how they get out again as it could be quite a challenge. 

We'll probably sit out the weather until the end of the week and see what the forecast looks like.

There is quite a number of 'permanent' holiday set-ups here.
Although some of the locals may have spent too much time in the sun...

It's a massive camp but, as before, somehow always seems peaceful
