Sunday 27th April 2025.
A short hop this morning took us to Ericeira where we stopped at an intermarché to fill with LPG and for Michelle to do a load of washing, all went well until it was discovered the tumble drier wasn’t working. As a result later this afternoon the interior of Homer looked like a Chinese laundry as everything dried, with exterior temperatures of 24 degrees it didn’t take long, just the time to explore the town and have a beer and red wine.
Our next stop was a small coastal village Praia de Santa Rita where we had a 30 minute break, I took a few photos of the beach but dogs weren’t allowed.
We then headed to Peniche where we are again on a free stopover parked along with many Portuguese vans. As mentioned above whilst the laundry dried we went into town.
At the far end of town there is a fort with its wall still standing it houses a museum of Resistance and Freedom. It was used to imprison people against the regime of the dictator Salazar.
From the castle we walked the length of the breakwater that protects the busy fishing harbour.
