Today we moved further up the coast to Campsite Vale Paraíso Natur Park which will be our base to visit the nearby fishing village of Nazaré, and the walled town of Óbidos.
The route was approximately 140km and we chose to avoid the toll roads which meant we passed through some nice looking villages. This required navigating some narrow streets and tight turns at times, but we arrived without incident.

Our journey today continued north toward Parque de Campismo Sol de Vila Chã, our chosen base for visiting Porto.
This trip involved a 235km tow mostly on fine two lane motorway toll roads. The last 3 kilometres, however, were on very rough cobbled streets where I feared for the integrity of the caravan and its’ contents even at less than 20km per hour.
