    Dear daughter..... my Em...
    That was a lovely episode.
    When you were at the beach.. that wasn't rough !! That was the Atlantic Ocean😁
    So glad you liked Obidos.. yo'mama and I loved it..
    And.. like I said.. sleep in the bar !! ! Xx

    great vid. enjoying your music Benny - i hear touches of the Kinks and Al Stewart sometimes (talking 1960s here). Glad Emily wasn't sick again, felt so sorry for her on the way out. laughed out loud at Alan's aloof bottom when you arrived - I think they always try to pretend they're upset with you for going even when they've had a great time.

    That was exceptional. Went to Portugal twice but with a large group of friends so mostly it was all eating and social so you can imagine how much I am enjoying your travels where you stop and explore things. What a wonderful time you had. Thanks for recording your adventures and for sharing them.

    It's taken me a bit of time to figure out what you two remind me of and that's hitch-hiking in the early 70s. The spirit of freedom and exploration was the same and I think it's why I like your vids so much 👍👍👍👍

    Heather steered our boat over the Pontcysyllte for the first time last week ( used to retreat inside the boat every other time). She finds singing loudly helps to distract from the 130ft drop 😅

    • @WanderingBells
      @WanderingBells ปีที่แล้ว +1

      She says she was inspired by Emily’s bravery, but she was tightly gripping the tiller and the midline the whole way - as well as singing 😂😂😂

    What a great bolt hole Portugal is when you need a break! Lovely to see. 🌅
    Glad you reached an accommodation with the ferry.
    So many derelict old houses.
    The sea must've been freezing in February!
    Now you know the routine, hopefully, you're more relaxed about shooting off there and you can explore some more.

    Enjoyed your video, thanks! Lucky you went when you did given the recent very high temperatures and forest fires. Trying to understand why I like your videos. Apart from bursts of Bingo's finest aural nectar, I think its something to do with the flow ...more on this later - possibly.
