Monday 21 st April 2025.
We spent a great part of this morning trying to source a new wing mirror to replace the smashed one. We drove 9k to a Peugeot garage but they didn’t have spares so they gave us an address back in Faro which we drove to, the spares attendant seemed confident it wouldn’t be a problem, but after spending a great deal of time on the computer declared he couldn’t find the correct one anywhere in Portugal. He printed out the serial number details etc for me and included the price €1,017, Ha HA HA, it looks like the temporary repair is going to have to do until we reach the UK.
We needed somewhere to stop stretch our legs and clear our heads so we headed to ….
What a lovely named place, it took some time on twisty roads and there seemed to be a lot of traffic today.
After lunch we walked to the beach where a sign immediately made it obvious Layla couldn’t go on.
We instead took a short walk along the cliff tops the surface under our feet wasn’t too good and it made getting up and down difficult without good walking shoes.
From there we drove on to tonight’s stop on the opposite bank of the River Arade to Portimao, inexpensive and basic but it provides what we need.
