The sunrise at Monsaraz was glorious, ushering in a lovely day. Bokkie rested for a while under the almond blossoms before we set off again.
We headed back to Reguengos de Monsaraz to do some final shopping for the week and then hit the road North towards Alandroal. We are in a lovely campsite, Camping Rosário, on the banks of the massive Alqueva Lake we could see from Monsaraz. We are only here for a day which is a pity as it is exctly the kind of campsite that we like - quiet, well-run and lovely owners.
We will still be nearby as we now have a house-sit arranged in the area. We are going to look after a house and quite a few dogs while the owners are away. We don't want to give more details at this stage to respect their privacy, but we are quite nervous and excited at the same time. Stay tuned for an update in a couple of days or so, as we get settled....
This area is so peaceful with insects and birds in abundance, it is really quite beautiful.

We were treated to the most sublime sunset to welcome us to the area.
We will update the blog when we can but we won't be moving in Bokkie for the next fortnight. She will be treated to a full pampering and cleaning session before we leave again, as she has been such a stalwart on our journey, carrying us safely through 16 weeks of travel since our adventure started.
