9^th June – 13^th June 2013

We’ve now had a week in Praia de Luz and its time to move on. In effect we will now be heading slowly home as we turn around and head north up the west coast of Portugal. Despite the overcast conditions in the first few days here the weather has now become really hot during the day and the last few days have been spent on the beach at Luz Yesterday we came off the beach and had a drink at a bar. We got speaking to a Belgium couple in their 80’s. They have a house here and spend two  3 month periods a year here in their own house which they are now selling. They drive here from Brussels and do the journey in 3 days. They made quite a fuss over Pickles in his buggy and we  spoke at length about dogs etc. We ended up having a meal and for once we were given a good portion of chips. The Belgium woman commented that there were ‘enough chips for a regiment’. So now its off to Intermarche to stock up and then a short drive to the resort of Vila Nova de Milfondes.
