Our time at this house sit is slowly drawing to an end and we are starting to prepare ourselves for travelling again. Bokkie has had a few repairs done and the washing and vacuuming has started in preparation of packing.

| We will never tire of the sunsets here. |
We've had a fairly active week as the slightly cooler weather allowed us to get out to some of the local villages by bike. Our Saturday cycle to Colos unfortunately damaged my rear tyre (admittedly it is almost 20 years old) so we will take it a bit easier until we can get to a bike store. I have swapped one of Toni's tyres with mine to try and prolong it's life and we'll try not to do too much off-roading.

| We would never have found the bakery if we weren't told where it was |
We're not 100% sure when the owner actually gets back as he is going to go back to work in Lisbon first, so we haven't planned our next step. We would like to get to the coast for a few days before heading north but it will depend on where we can get a booking.
Bonus pics.

| Our Portuguese version of 'pap en wors' |

| The fruit and veg here is amazing, as are the pastries Two Pasteis de Nata, an egg custard slice and two Carob 'Salami' |
Bonus video:
We have discovered an Iberian grass snake living in the valve enclosure outside the lounge. We get along fine!
