Thanks for sharing Greg. Great route for the motorbike!
Beautiful…think this is going on our list to do 👍
Beautiful
Thank You! Lovely footage!
Hi Greg and Lou yet again another fantastic video 👏 lovely campsite, I'm struggling to see my Google maps so many pins on it of places to see and stay. I came across the N2 while looking for NC500 alternatives. Looking forward to the next instalment. 😀
Looks like it’s going to be another epic trip. Good video 👍💙❤️
Love to see more of Lou, as well as you Greg 💕
Very interesting and informative, I was surprised to see how low the water level in the lake was even this late in the year, looking forward to next instalment👍
Fabulous start to your trip Greg. I have been to Portugal many times but never heard of this route. Guess what I’ll be doing next year?
Hi Greg & Lou.
The Vidago palace, was it 30 mins or did it 'only take half an hour'??? HAHAH safe trip guys
I love the passport and stamp idea! Sometimes it's the little things that make it fun.
Just for info Faro is pronounced Far-o (not pharaoh as in Eyptian rulers)
Great video, winter sun beautiful campsite, great views will go on my list
Like you say a nice alternative from the coastal route 😀👍🏼
Fantastic Greg far more interesting than Beach hopping 👍😍Stay Free and Safe Travels 🇨🇮

Hello, Mr. Greg!.. Always a pleasure for me to view your uploads here. Safe roads and have fun!
What a fantastic choice! Enjoy 😁
Are you happy with the exterior window cover? Just received my ‘just 1/2 hr” shirt for my projects!
Good start to your series and the brass rubbing reminded me of the old style coins I did on paper before I spent them when I was a kid. Iron in the water? Keep away from magnet factories 🤣
I've been wanting to fo this for a few years either on my 300cc scooter or in a campervan.
Grea video Greg Lou ,fantastic weather and site , very tempted already to visit the area, the lake looked very low with water , looking forward to the next stage

Great to see you both "back in action"!
