Van Turismo Diary

Had a low key day today. I had the most amazing shower ever, the showers here are quality. It is amazing how the little things proper get you excited when you spend so much time on the road. The showers had a hot and a cold tap, it wasnt a button that you had to […]

Finally got a base set up for a few days, after we left Cascais we went to visit something called Rocha de Inferno which roughly translates as The mouth of hell or something like that. It was basically where the sea has broken through some rocks as part of the coast line and when waves

Another wildly productive day, we were up and out of the camper by 9am in search of a cafe that had some decent enough internet. We found one, called Fradinho it was lovely. I’ll tell you one thing, they love a cake in Portugal. On the way to the cafe we called in to the

Today was the sort of day that when i started the planning the trip we would be having every few days. Which was wake up early, quick pack up and then a day trip on the way to our next stop over. However, this is absolutely not been the case and to be fair was

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

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.
