Yesterday we made it a little past the French/Spanish border. Parts of that drive were really quite dramatic! We stayed in a hotel in Donostia San Sebastian, got up early and availed of the buffet breakfast (the kids love these breakfasts and eat *so* much!), then started driving south west. From mountainous to plains, and back to mountains, it was an interesting drive. We saw a herd of wild boar in one place.
After an epic 12.5 hour travel day (with only short toilet/fuel/food stops), we made it to our house in Óbidos, Portugal. It got dark in the last half hour and started to rain, so other than the well-lit castle, we have no idea what’s around us. The inside of the house is lovely though, and the car and trailer are safely parked. Apart from a little bit of moaning of boredom, the kids were really great in the car. Kindles are brilliant!
We have two weeks to explore this area!
