RoadTrip to the past...



  dCi 100
Hi,

This last weekend I went to Alentejo, to see some past vacations spots when I was younger. I hadn't been there for almost a decade, but memories last forever, right? ;)
With temps about 28ºC, there we went!

Highway or Ferry Boat and B-roads??

Ferry and B-roads of course!

This place is called Tróia and a huge vacation resort is being built there by Sonae. Stuff is going along quite quickly I might add! Let's hope it doesn't become a place for only a few ::) :mad:

Ten years later I arrived at the little town where I used to spend summers and vacations! Dispite all this time, little or nothing has changed! The road is still the same, houses, coffee shops.. I think I even recognized some people! :eek:

A little flea market going on, but not that many customers :rasp:

... meanwhile we went to have lunch, at the main square. ;)

Yes, it is, but police don't seem to be bothered to much, nor do the MOT guys, although they're starting to ;)
