Off to Portugal we go...

Ok, it ha been a while, I know. We have been suffering with lack of internet issues. Were to start? Tim arrived on...hang on what day is it now? (she checks her phone to see) Ok so he arrived on Sunday afternoon and promptly fell asleep. Well it was just like being at home. he was knackard and running on two hours sleep so spend the rest of Sunday asleep. (I will have to load all the photos as and when I can get a signal, as there is no signal here at all on my phone. (So I can't make any calls until next site tomorrow) He woke up for Monday and we went off to the oceangraphic in Valencia and had a lovely day! (Photos to follow) We then spent Tuesday on the beach, and Amy's Birthday on the Wednesday at the water park. A good time was had by all and we were sad to see him leave on the Wednesday evening straight after cake and candles with Amy.
Random photos now that I have managed to get off my phone, however they are in no order as the emails aren't coming through in order and taking hours to go off. this first one is Amy just after she had ridden her bike for the first time...Oh the shock...

So here are the gallery photos and the last of the Mariola ones.

So these are the ones from some of last week, including Tims visit and Amy's Birthday. 

We saw lots of animals at the zoo, and have had a few great days out...

So now we find ourselves here.....

And can I just say that the caravan was reversed into that space by me! Don't ask how, as I still don't know how. I think I was speared on by the fact that at the last two sites I have seen people hit trees and take down bins, smashing their lights in, and that was couples who had help. No one can reverse them like experts as you just don't have the space to practice. I saw one couple really take a bin out and smash their lights in and that was while she was supposedly giving instructions through the window. Any way, we are now just under two hours off the Portuguese boarder. On the N 430. We drove from Valencia straight across from east to west and are now ready to cross the boarder tomorrow. The site here is lovely and the owners are really nice. So tomorrow a new country, and one I know little about. This should be interesting. we are going to stay in a site not far from the boarder the other side for a night or two, before going on up to near where the families we have been in contact with live. I must say the kids where great in the car yesterday and considering it was nearly 6 hours I still felt like we had a great day. we stopped and chatted about the journey and looked at the map, and then went swimming as soon as we arrived. I am really enjoying being with them. A moment of feeling very lucky I think. I meet a guy who was cycling to the Sahara dessert  yesterday. We chatted for ages and he left London on his bike and will return in four years when he has seen the world. We talked about fear and how it can stop people from following what the want to do. The fear of doing something is never ever what it is actually like to do it in reality. Fear is nothing more then a thought saying something that it actually know's nothing about yet! It hasn't done it yet. To feel the fear and do it anyway is a real buzz, and what's the worst that can happen? You can brake down on the side of the road, get your car smashed, and have your card eaten in the same week. Do you know what though...I would do it all again tomorrow. I have met some wonderful people and seen some amazing places because of that. All those friends who have emailed me and said you are inspired to take off with your children...go for it! The world is amazing and there for the exploring. Spain is Beautiful, friendly, and warm! I could be sat in that house in England, waiting for my husband to come home and fall asleep....er...no....Next country tomorrow.......

Will try and post gain later as loads to say still...Wifi dependent.
