Landing in Loulé (Ellie’s Week 16)
May 22, 2016
Monday 14th – Monday 21st Dec On Monday we set off from the campsite careful to avoid rush hour knowing that in order to head south we first had to cross the enormous ’25 de Abril’ Bridge that straddled Lisbon navigating a tricky series of roundabouts/junctions on the way.

December 9, 2015
Mon 30th Nov – Mon 7th Dec It’s funny, after having really enjoyed free camping in a multitude of aires, it felt really weird (and a lot less fun) being on a campsite again.
