  1. Stuck in Portugal - any help appreciated

    Yes, very nice place. It was recommended to us by a fellow camper. Very upmarket with properties over 1 million euros. It seems to be where the wealthy Portuguese from Lisbon have their second homes. Some excellent restaurants and what a fabulous beach. We would have stayed longer if not for the...

    Thanks for replies. Have managed to get it welded which should get us to Portimao. There is an accessory shop there and should be able to get it replaced.
  3. Stuck in Portugal - any help appreciated

    I have a scooter attached to a scooter rack. The clamp that holds the upright bar has broken. I have attached a photo. I think it is very similar to the clamp that holds a jockey wheel on a trailer or caravan. I am currently at Comporta south of Lisbon. Has anyone had similar problem and what...
  4. Ahead of time!!!

    Had a right laugh today. We took the bus into Porto this morning. We had been told by Maja07 to buy a yellow bus pass which is an open top double decker site seeing tour bus. We bought the tickets at 10.10am and I asked the lady what time is the next bus. She said the first bus is at 9.19am. I...

    Went for the powdered chalk option. They sold chalk sticks at the ferretateria and I grated one down to chalk dust. Worked a treat and I've got 19 sticks left over for future use. Thanks
  6. Poor Hymer or should I say Hymeur!

    He is a veteran of wildcamping as are most of the Dutch. But he said he broke his own golden rule. Only park in a car park where other motorhomes are overnighting especially in Spain and Portugal. He said he does this 99.9% of the time and never has a problem. The first time he broke his rule he...

  13. Pensioners Party

    Had a great day today. We're in a medieval village near Santander and suddenly this afternoon a pensioners party started up outside the village hall and they were playing Spanish music and salsa music. I went to explore what was going on and got invited to the party. They were all eating paella...

  15. Hooligans vandalise Buerstner at 5am

    We've since heard that someone challenged the youths at 2am because they were causing a disturbance. We don't know for sure but maybe it was the Belgian man in the Buerstner. It is then possible that they sort revenge and came back at 5am to teach him a lesson. Perhaps the moral of this story is...
  16. Hooligans vandalise Buerstner at 5am

    Yes, that's exactly what we thought. Another English lady told me she heard a rowdy group of youths at 2am causing a disturbance but eventually left. We must have slept through that one as never heard a thing. Don't know if the same ones returned at 5am. We were parked next to the Buerstner, but...
  17. Hooligans vandalise Buerstner at 5am

    Parked overnight with 30+ other motorhomes at Caberceno safari park. We were woken up at 5am by a really loud bang and an almighty yell from a fellow camper. Looked out the window and saw three people with torches starring at the Buerstner. At the time we thought something must have crashed down...
