Van Turismo Diary

An entry from me (Lisa) today! Today started off very overcast with the promise of a storm, but alas no storm arrived, I was gutted! We’ve still not had a proper storm since we set off. We had a tiny bit of lightning back in Portugal, and Dickie managed to get a lightning bolt when […]
