Thank you so much for sharing your holiday with Jade. Your cottage is lovely, as were the places you so well filmed and photographed. Very happy you had a terrific break, out and about in your adopted home country. Cheers ❤
The traffic heading into Porto stresses me out too! I find it less stressful than Lisbon, but any sort of big city driving gets me stressed. Glad you had a safe, enjoyable and well deserved vacation! ❤
Que vidio excelente gostei muito da casa toda em pedra . A paisagem tambem é linda . Ainda bem que a sua menina os veio visitar espero que passe uns dias muito felizes. Thank you very much God bless you both ❤❤❤ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇵🇹
Getting together with your family for a Holiday doesn't happen very often these days. Hope the time off was pleasurable and relaxing . Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Beautiful video and a well deserved break for you both. Glad to enjoy your daughter’s visit in such a cute cottage. Thanks for taking us along to see more of Portugal.
How lovely to see your beautiful Jade is visiting again…..am sure she will be more than impressed with the changes you’ve been making. Enjoy your time together. God bless xx
Looks like you are having a good time! A beautiful area to visit and 10 degrees cooler. Thanks for bringing us along! Hope you tell us a little more about your holiday in the next one. See you!
Ooooh traffic! Hate it 😮 I've got so used to less traffic that if we have to go anywhere busy I sit in the back and close my eyes 🤣. Portugal looks amazing.. we're definitely going to be visiting soon. 👍
I'm sure you will love it, I can recommend this northern section of central Portugal. We will definitely return and visit Viseu, by the time we got there it was midday, busy and hot, so we left. It looks like a magical mix of old and new!!
That was absolutely beautiful - so glad you had a lovely family break in the mountains. Really loved the ending with your stills synched with the bell chimes - perfect 👌🏾💜
thank you for this little journey in portual"s montains. a lot of families living in my little town came from this region of portugal in 20e centuty, to work in the factury that is now closed; a huge iron factury on the river side, now the region can be touristic, it is very nice but the polution of the factory did'nt alow tourism.
I think that's true of so many places, not just in Portugal. I loved the mix of old and new, rural wilderness and small towns with cafe culture. Darren and I will love to go back in autumn or winter, Viseu looks like it needs exploring, but this time was just too hot for Max!!! Thank you for watching take care Elaine 🥰
What a lovely trip! I’m glad you also had a break from the heat. I like your new van. It’s surprising what I can fit into mine, so I know yours will be so useful, too.
Yesss!!! It took a Jade to get mum and dad away from the building site, on a well earned vacation💖Stunning views. Narrow roads up there, hope you didn't meet the gigantic lorries. Lovely self-contained accommodation...I prefer them to hotels, you can have your breakfast when you like😉New car and high altitude=cooler altogether. Take care all 4 of you🤗xx
Thanks Katarina, it was lovely break!! Reminded us of parts of UK.....the Dale's in NE, Wales. Will try to go back later in the year, when less busy and cooler. 🥰
Everything was good, except finding places to eat. Really odd, we were trying to avoid big towns, so perhaps there's not much call for eating out rurally there!!
Love the new car and thanks for taking us with you on your well deserved trip and how lovely to share it with Jade. I have been thinking about you in that crazy heatwave you are having but looking on the weather map tonight on the news it looks like Portugal is slightly less "red" than Spain. We had 16° today and it felt more like spring than summer but we mustn't complain eh. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip as you are no doubt back home now working on your land. Take care and stay cool xxxx
Our pleasure Liz, so far it's been OK. Only odd days over 40°c, not weeks at a time. There's little work getting done, just maintaining what's there,the trees basically!!!
Great that you’ve managed to get a break and spend some time with Jade. A lovely scenic area. I've only been to Portugal once (to Tavira) and that was nearly 20 years ago, so it good to see other areas through your videos 👌
too many lanes on the road is not hard, just keep right at all times unless overtaking or if the road is splitting in two then you might need to move into the middle one, but generally you can live in the right lane
It's not hard, it's just much busier than we're now used too, so it's not pleasant and not where we would choose to drive. But picking Jade made up for a few hours discomfort!!
Thank you so much for sharing your holiday with Jade. Your cottage is lovely, as were the places you so well filmed and photographed. Very happy you had a terrific break, out and about in your adopted home country. Cheers ❤
Thanks so much! 😊 Take care Ruth.
What a perfect holiday

Thank you, I will 🥰
It looks like a wonderful rental.I'll bet it's nice and cool in the house due to the stone walls. What a nice break to take with Jade.
Definitely, we enjoyed the house, but there was no nearby parking, so it got quite stressful!!
Ooooh traffic! Hate it 😮 I've got so used to less traffic that if we have to go anywhere busy I sit in the back and close my eyes 🤣. Portugal looks amazing.. we're definitely going to be visiting soon. 👍
I'm sure you will love it, I can recommend this northern section of central Portugal. We will definitely return and visit Viseu, by the time we got there it was midday, busy and hot, so we left. It looks like a magical mix of old and new!!
What a lovely place you all stayed in, thank you for taking us along.
Our pleasure!
Glad you enjoyed it 🤗
lovely you included us in your holiday.
Our pleasure!
That was absolutely beautiful - so glad you had a lovely family break in the mountains.
Really loved the ending with your stills synched with the bell chimes - perfect 👌🏾💜
Glad you enjoyed it, Darren enjoyed the chance to take more photos and there were soooooo many church bells to choose from!!
yeah so much cool nature to see :D so beautiful. don't need to go far and stopping every few minutes while on holiday is just fine :D no rush
🌟👏👍🍀💐
Beautiful! I'll have to add that to my list of places to visit next time we're in Portugal.
Lots of small towns with that wonderful mix of old and new, I love it 🤗

Thank you! 😊
ooh road trip, yeah! love it, always great to explore new places... Hope you had loads of fun with Jade 😘🥰
Yes! Thank you! Tell you about it next time we see you 🤗

Thanks for taking us along on this little mountain journey. It is always nice to see areas in Portugal.
Glad you enjoyed it🥰
What a wonderful adventure. I hope that you found a quaint place to eat, relax and enjoy Jades company. Scenery was stunning?
Everything was good, except finding places to eat. Really odd, we were trying to avoid big towns, so perhaps there's not much call for eating out rurally there!!
Beautiful area stunning views. Hope you relaxed. Loved the chiming of the bells. 💚
Yes, thank you Sheila. Yes, church bells all the time!!
That was a lovely trip out~ thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great holiday, I wish I were there. Stay Safe! 🙏❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇵🇹⛵️👣😊
Thanks Melinda 🥰
An abandoned village?
Very nice video. Glad its a bit cooler there. 💖
Definitely not abandoned!!! About 50 residents 🥰
Very nice to see you having a nice time together!
Thanks 🤗
Beautiful, thankyou so much for sharing, I will look into those cottages, looks like a great place to let.
Just make sure they have parking if you are using a car
🖐😎🌈
You have the new car, congratulations.
I suspect it's a hire car 😮, but I could be that Darren and Elaine are now a three car family 😮
Yes, you're right 🚙
Sadly, yes. We are a 3 car family, but hopefully back to 2 very soon as truck has alot of interest in it!!!
@@PensionersinPortugal you hired it ? Or you have a third vehicle in the fleet ?
Great to see you having a little holiday with Jade the mountains are stunning and so unspoiled.xx 🐾🐾
It really is!
Hope we meet and talk to Jade.

So happy you had a small vacation with Jade. I just got back from 5 days visiting my kids….Jeci and Jacob !
That is awesome! Hope you had a fantastic time 🥰
I need a holiday
Great video. Enjoyed that!
Glad you enjoyed it!
