Day Thirty-five 18.4.05 We had to get away from the barking dogs so we packed up the awning last night to set off early. Good job we did because it rained last night. No time for breakfast, we would get some on the way. We stopped on the motorway at a service station got some diesel (very cheap, 93cents a litre) what we didn't realise was it was an automatic pump where you enter your credit card first and it was us the tannoy was talking to, trying to tel...

Day Thirty Four 17.4.05 We went to Obidos today, its about 10 miles from the campsite and we set off quite late as we had dogs barking and music all night and not much sleep.

We were also a little bit hung over from our night on the town. Whilst...

Day Thirty-two 15.4.05 William's Birthday This morning we took an open top bus tour of the city to get our bearings. It did the job and although it rained a bit and we had to go downstairs it was well worth spending an hour and a half in traffic to view the sights. We spent until lunch time walking the streets and ally's of Bairro Alto, this part of the city is really atmospheric and not too touristy. We took a ride on the Gloria Funicular to get...
