ALL GONE WRONG – STRUGGLING with VAN LIFE in PORTUGAL – (OFF GRID LAND SEARCH)

We leave van life in Spain behind and cross the border in search of some off grid land in Portugal. But the dream soon becomes a van life nightmare when the temperatures go over 40 degrees! Living in a van is almost impossible for us and our dogs in this heat wave and it doesn’t look like its going to end any time soon!

Have we made a huge mistake coming here in July, will we still be able to look for off grid land in central Portugal.. Its not looking too good for us at the moment as van life becomes unbearable.

  1. Hi guys, yes it's pretty warm up here in Alicante, I keep checking the forecast and up in Galicia (A Coruña) it says it's much cooler, my dogs stay in ..in the afternoons, I've given up thinking about camping until the heat passes, take care.

  2. could be worse guys….im back at work in the uk delivering sofas in 80 plus degress this monday and tuesday(im not lookin for sympathy cos i well aware that somewhere in the world there is anuuver bloke deliverin marball table tops}}

  3. Was so looking forward to this weeks vlog but to see poor Charlie unwell was my only downer,the thing is nobody knows the dogs better than you both so I am sure he will be fine and if it I know you both would be the first to get him to a vets,but at the end he looked a lot more perked up so lets hope you get back on track with your plans when the weather is more bearable , here in London it is very hot and forecast to get up to 40s over the next few days ( hate this heat really ) so will be glad when it’s over, nick made us laugh when he said “ sitting here eating a hot salad “ ha ha the wife said to me tell him not to forget to blow on his tomato’s .anyway great vlog again and can’t wait till next weeks one, I wish everyday was a Thursday so we could watch more. You are good at finding lovely cheap campsites they are amazing, and worth the money . Here in the uk a campsite per night is expensive and most only offer a field and toilets. hope things get better now for you both and also Charlie , stay safe both of you and stay positive ,, oh last thing nick should be wearing his madness ( group) trilby to keep cool .see you soon. Jim and Deb

  4. The Portuguese coast is about 10 degrees cooler. Head there for a few weeks and then go back inland when it’s not so brutal. If you’re in central Portugal, head to the Silver Coast. You could easily spend a few weeks there. It’s perfect van-life country. Loads of places to SUP too.

  5. I know that your posting date is after your experiences… but I do hope you did not go into any area where wildfires have happened. Today's high in central west France was 41C at about 3pm French time in full sun and 31c in shade at 18h ….. and we are nowhere near the south of Bordeaux… I know uk has had high temperatures but what we have had for the last month and more with a reprieve between has been extreme and usually is for August. The spring and summmer heatwave ( canicule ), on top of drought ( secheresse ) of summer and last winter…. which also brought ironically the snow melt and so flooding of the local river came very high in April – the accumulation of rocks , trees, logs, etcetera apart from some man made items caused very high flooding earlier this Spring. the highest I have ever witnessed… but not THE highest ever!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE take care deciding where to go in Portugal etc…. I totally agree that you should look at land or property or both at extreme weather conditions.. I just read that fires are being fought in LEIRIA…
    It is a beautiful country.
    I loove your vlog style and you are not greedy for commerce and income and that appeals to me… but of course nothing is for free and you work hard filming and editing… Keep the babies cool!!!!!!!
    Much love

  6. Good move postponing the land search, I honestly do not know how you are coping with the heat. Safety first, look after yourselves and your doggies, go to the coast and have the best of both world`s, hopefully it will be cooler and more bearable for you all. Keep up with the fluids even if you don`t want to eat xx

  7. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Remember visiting Serpa in End of April. Crazy hot! Mad dogs went out for bike rides and a walk to see the little brown piggies. Nearly finished us!! But what a beautiful countryside and Town too. Stayed at the Municipal site parked under a tree, met some great folks, and like you, cycled to Lidl. Fantastic. We figured Portugal inland in summer, is not for 'Softies'. Historic Beja was a treat too. Love to check in with your channel every now and then to watch your adventures with the dogs.

  8. Why not going to the north of portugal? even go to Galicia maybe?
    Its roughly six hours drive from the bottom to the top of the country. It's gonna be much cooler in the north than just the coast… maybe it doesnt make that much of a difference, but in spain it definitely does

  9. There are cooling pads you can getfor dogs put it in the fridge for an hour then put it down they love it -down here in Greece its not so bad at moment its only 35.c but we also have the strong hot winds called meltemi

  10. Worried about you all and the heat 😥 the wild fires are really scary 😟 glad Charlie seemed to pick up by the end of the vid.🤗❤️ You take such care and love them so much it's easy to see ❤️😍.
    Take care . Stay safe and sending loads of love and hugs to you all. ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰
