Despite our long day in Porto yesterday we plan a long drive today hence try for an early start. There are some 30+ motorhomes in this aire and most seem very slow at servicing their campers, so we decide to be first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start the Hymer and roll over to the service point around 8am and start doing what needs to be done, when I hear the Aussie twang. A young couple from the central coast are here in a small camper. So we chat away probably pissing off the other motorhomers trying to get back to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We say our goodbyes and roll out, our first stop the Lidl for a supermarket top up. Then the tollway…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

East of Amarante we turn off the tollway, taking the N101 into the Province of the Alto Douro. The hills become higher, the valley deeper. Vineyard predominate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
