It&#8217;s been four years since we were last together for Christmas, so it&#8217;s going to be a very special few days. Not only will Charlie be sniffing around the Jamon leg (from Lidl of course!) but there will be an extra special guest too &#8211; Dave. Yes, Jay, Charlie and I are living in Dave for a few days on my brother&#8217;s drive, and even if he does ring his local council to get the travelling folk evicted, they won&#8217;t be round before Boxing day to turf us out!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still sorting through our tour photos with a view to get photo books printed up (hopefully there will be some New Year sale offers we can take advantage of), and only have a few more countries to do. It&#8217;s amazing just how many photos you take with a digital camera &#8211; if we had still been using film we&#8217;d have had to come back a long time ago as Dave would have been full of prints.<\/p>\n<p>But the main reason for this post is to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Thanks for reading about our little adventure and getting in touch with us, telling us about your plans, tips and dreams. Let&#8217;s all make it a wonderful travelling 2014; wherever you go, however you get there be sure to get out and see the world, it&#8217;s an amazing place!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16110\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/D75-020-officla-christmas-photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16110\" class=\"wp-image-16110 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/D75-020-officla-christmas-photo-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"Merry Christmas from Portugal 2011!\" width=\"620\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/D75-020-officla-christmas-photo-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/D75-020-officla-christmas-photo-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Merry Christmas from Portugal 2011!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ju x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time has flown since we got back in the middle of September, I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already Christmas!
