more pictures from 2012...

we got into portugal in october, the first place we stayed was a neolithic site called alamendres. the next morning we found a storm had blown a tree over the track. simon had to get the saw out and cut it away so we could leave...

well thats it from 2012, a bit of a brief summery but its so hard to write about stuff that happened months ago. at one time i was being very good and at least writing the blog on the laptop ready to upload when i got on the internet but that has fallen by the wayside!
