Renovation Project - Our Journey is over

Renovation Project - Our Journey is over

This is it, we are on the way to Portugal. There is only approx 25 kilometres to go. This is getting really exciting now. I know we have talked about it for some time but this is actually it.

We see the border approach and this time know exactly how to use the toll road (for anybody entering Portugal via Spain in the car, read this post as it can be quite confusing, and if you don´t get your toll ticket here, life is very difficult. click here for toll roads in Portugal)

OK we have now passed the border sign, there was nothing other than the sign, I don´t know what I was expecting, maybe a little fanfare or a little welcome sign, but absolutely nothing, it was a little bit anti climatic to be honest, but hey, we are here, in Portugal. We just need to find our new apartment.

We have rented some where for 2 months in Sao Martinho do Porto on the Silver Coast to give us plenty of time to buy our own place, we have a list and are ready to go. So hopefully the next 2 months will be relaxing by the sea.

We arrive at the apartment and all goes well, we unload the car and go for a wander around.

We are literally a couple hundred metres from the beach.

This really is every thing we have dreamed of, the sun is shining, the sea looks amazing and we have a great selection of bars and restaurants on our door step. So I´ll see you all in the morning, we are going for dinner and a glass of wine in our beautiful new home.
