Just checked the gas!! One tank is empty. Will need to plot in a detour and then have the usual dramas!! We had planned in a visit to the Barragem de Povoa, and whilst not far away from Gary's place, we wanted to visit Morvao and do some shopping. Let's stick to this plan today and get the gas tomorrow.
Morvao is another hilltop, fortified town with loads of history. For a tourist with dogs it is not that easy to visit, as there are no cafes with any outdoor bits so we can't even donate to their economy. But interesting to see a well planned fortress with 360 degree views.
The Portugese are taking the motorhomers very seriously. When we arrived at the Barragem, a brand new loo block, and hard standing is in the last phase of build. We plonk ourselves right by the water's edge and get the deck chairs out.
The pups are racing around in and out of the water, and we then notice they have been joined by two more. Oh no, not more strays. These look well fed, although no collars. One is really sweet looking terrier and the other a large long haired mountain type dog. The dogs spend the next hour chasing each other round and round and having the time of their lives, and we accept there is little we can do.
We find out the dogs are owned by the guy running the bar further around the Barragem, so at least they are cared for.
Very hot day today and we both got quite burned.
