Postcard from the Beach

Wednesday 5 September 2018

Greetings from Portugal!

We’re in a seaside resort called Portimão. Not much to see here except beautiful beaches. September is high season but the beaches are so huge they don’t seem crowded.

The real reason we came here is for chicken piri piri. Mission accomplished. We’re at a beachside cafe that’s been here since 1976. And the piri piri is delicious!

Tomorrow our real adventure begins. We’re on the Road to Morocco!

Love to you all,
