Vila Real

Somewhat of a diversion on the way (due to some creative map-reading by a sleepy Joanna), but we made it to Portugal. Torrential rain wasn´t really helping either, and it was seriously heavy by the time we had to stop in Vila Real. Not too bad a town and Joanna found a great wee Pensao with a lovely proprietress. We also went out and got (other than wet) a wonderful dinner of roast kid goat. Yummy.

We´ve moved on to Porto - "charmingly dilapidated" as the guidebook correctly puts it, and are exploring it today. Don´t worry Steve, Port will be consumed, as well as Green Wine, the other speciality we´ve discovered.

All good in camp Clio; sorry for the intermitent updates. MikeB has recommended atom feed to let you know when we do get internet access and there´s something new...
