March 10th – The simple life

One of the reasons I love travelling is to get back to basics. We found a great little campsite that we stayed at last night in rural Portugal.

What makes it great I hear you ask? Has it got an amazing pool? Brilliant WiFi? Entertainment? Bars?

No…… It is basic, run by really nice, helpful people that understand service, nothing is too much trouble and everything is clean and tidy. Hot water in the showers, Chickens running around providing eggs for you should you require, and there are some fantastic walks from the site.

We were up early enough to catch the local baker that comes around in his van each morning selling the fresh bread and the largest croissants we’ve ever seen. I appreciate this isn’t everyone’s idea of a great site but we love it.
