We spent the night of the first of May here on the pitch with the people we have enjoyed spending time with over the last week. Slowly our small community is getting smaller and smaller, as some of them have left for home or onward journeys. Many have already announced their intention to return to this caravan park in the fall. We would also like to come back and spend the winter here in this beautiful part of the world. We are also curious to see who we will really meet here at that time, what each individual will have experienced and told us by then, who will stay for many weeks or months or who will simply enjoy a few nice weeks of vacation here again. We are already looking forward to meeting everyone.
We spent the first few days of May relaxing. Sometimes on the beach, sometimes on a moped tour. We spent a lot of time with our friends Mr. W. and Mrs. H., going for walks, having a leisurely lunch, spending time in the sun and the odd evening together. We also really enjoyed just sitting comfortably in front of the camper and doing nothing this week. Unfortunately, this option is bad for us if we just don’t want to do anything, because someone always asks Alex for help.
Currently there is Mrs. M.. Mr. P. wanted to help her because she was losing oil in her motorhome and could no longer travel with this problem. Mr. P. was sure of the solution and ordered the spare part. Unfortunately, the problem could not be solved. Mr. P. must now finally start his journey home. He has an injury that needs to be treated. He has already postponed his departure by a week because of the repair at Mrs. M.’s. But now he really has to go. But now he really has to go. So he asks Alex if he can help Mrs. M. a little. Someone from the workshop here at the caravan park should have already come to have a look at Ms. M’s problem and decide whether she can drive to the workshop herself (Alex would then have to reassemble the motorhome) or whether the towing service is the only option. So far, however, no one has been there. We are not surprised about this in Portugal, only Mrs. M. is not so pleased.
Small evening round with our friends.
We have actually reduced the work on our camper considerably and are really enjoying the time off work.
