Portuguese kerfuffles

[n brown]

daughter's trying to get the use of a camper or caravan for a few days to go to Frequency festival . she;s a resident there, so can't drive an English vehicle, or pull an English caravan ,although a non-resident can drive a Portuguese vehicle . she can't borrow a Portuguese caravan as this can only be pulled by the vehicle it's registered to, and of course needs its own, separate insurance - makes our regs look quite simple eh ?

Hire one? Surely someone she knows or they know, our experience in Portugal everyone knows someone who has what you need, could lend her one?

I won't charge her rent.

Just ask her to redecorate,inside and out.

No problem with transport... There's a bus to Sao Bras on Mondays and Wednesdays.

the idea is to be parked up in the middle of all the action , not stuck in some horrible Premier Inn with Lenny Henry droning on

I seem to remember reading in the last couple of weeks that there are changes afoot for the towing of vehicles in UK to be made the same as in Europe. Anyone else read about it?

it's an old landrover , if my daughter slept in that we'd never be able to straighten her out ! she'd be the first talking pretzel !
