Van Turismo Diary

I am absolutely knackered, took the wee guy on a big walk this morning so Lisa could write a blog. We ended walking the 3 mile trek into Nazare. The only problem with walking 3 miles away is that you have to walk 3 miles back. I was gone from maybe 9 until 11 ish […]

Pack down day today, after a few days of having a camp it seems like it takes for ever to get everything put away properly in its place. Especially with the awning and porch door on. It could be done quicker but I like a slow pack down with intermittent sitting down. We packed everything

Another day in Portuguese paradise. Despite getting eaten to shreds by bugs, we are having a wonderful time in Fageira. The site has its quirks but so do most. It only has 1 toilet block of 6 open so not hot water in any of the others so if you want to do the dishes

White Rabbits!! Welcome to February!! The good news is the Wee Man slept straight through the night which was a welcome treat for 3 nights of waking up and needing a bottle. Well, we assume he needed a bottle as he was taking a full bottle but it could as well just be his teeth

I was on the night feed and as usual he woke at 02:44 so like a zombie i got up and sorted him his bottle out, we use this machine to sterilise and warm his bottles it is from Dr Brown. It takes around 6 minutes to sterilise and 4 odd minutes to warm them

Been a day of Daddy Daycare today, as Rory’s night time routine has turned to horse sh!t Lisa has done a couple of night feeds. So I said that I will the night feed tonight and id take him out for a few hours so she could do what ever she wanted for a bit.

After a lovely couple of days it was decided that we were to move on, we needed to do a wash ASAP. There is a song from a band called ‘The View’ and it was called “Same Jeans”. The lyrics essentially start like this “iv had the same jeans on for 4 days now” and

Had another one of those really amazing days today, the sort that make you feel all fuzzy and gooey inside. Before I get started happy birthday to my Nan who has had a little birthday party this afternoon, us 3 here love you lots x Today started like many others in Portugal which is about

Woke up this morning about 7am to have a nice hot shower, the first one in about 6 days. I think I have mentioned before the frustration of staying on a site and the showers being cold. It is so so frustrating so it was nice today to get 3rd degrees burns for a change.

A very welcome boring day!! Rory has somehow found himself in a routine where he is waking up around 5am so by the time he has his first bottle and his first nap he is awake by p9am. That last week was about 11am. Especially in the chilly mornings here pushing him around the town
