Thought you might be interested in the Portuguese attitude to tea, water and wine. At a previous hotel. Last night we were at a massive chateau thing owned and run by the Count of something. Very flash. We were shown through – saw at least 6 dining rooms, and we ate there.
Their own day to day kitchen – ancient sink and air fryer. Goes back to around the 12 Century (I vaguely remember hearing). It must be noted that wine flows freely here – had a vodka tonight and she brought the bottle to the table and just poured as she chatted to us. Needless to say to say, I say quite a few parts to songs that weren’t charted. Luckily there woman who runs the singing is very understanding. Loving the singing. Always in 4 parts so 3 or 4 in each group. Hard to get away with mouthing the words.
They add new houses to old ones everywhere – it’s quite intriguing.
and hang their washing and put ATMs in the oddest of places.
However it’s now after 11 and we had a 20 km day today with another tomorrow, and have to be packed and out of our rooms by 8 so need to go. And sleep. Hopefully, having just finished dinner – and chocolate mousse – less than an hour ago. I’m basically eating (and drinking) whatever is put in front of me without too many side effects overall – except sleep deprivation. Now in Tui, in Spain. Buildings and people less colourful than Portugal, so far anyway. However, I’m more familiar with the language which is a bonus.
Buenas noches…. Google translate!!!!
