Every time we return to Portugal we wonder if we'll like it as much as we did last time and every time, we do! We don't what it is, when you cross the border from Spain very little seems to change yet every time, we feel a strange feeling of coming home. We really love it here.
We had a walk around Badajoz this morning; it was very quiet and, as the old city streets are so narrow, it is also difficult to get a feel for the place (or any good photos). We walked back over the river and had a coffee overlooking the river watching the city come back to life. We then got chatting to another Brit in the aire who was on his way back to France so we swapped travel stories before we headed off. We topped up Bokkie's diesel tank as the fuel is significantly cheaper in Spain and managed to get it at less than a pound per litre.
We were in Portugal so quickly we didn't even have time to photograph the welcome sign, and popped into nearby Elvas for some food shopping. We love seeing what local fare is on offer in each of the countries.
We then headed off to Evora where we stayed a couple of nights last time we were here. We waited out the worst heat of the day and went for a stroll through the town in the evening, and enjoyed some local beer and snacks in the square. It's lovely to be back here in the summertime, as we remember it being very cold last time.
Tomorrow we'll spend the last night in Bokkie before our 6-week house-sit.
