Sad photo, happy photo

Here is a sad photo. The gas has run out in the van. We have to cobble together some new gas. They don't sell Calor gas over here. There is plenty of gas, but they are all in different bottles with a hundred and one different regulators of different sizes.

Here's a happy photo. We found a place where they refill your gas bottles, and they have British adaptors. 12kg of fresh gas cost us a whopping 14 Euros!!! Thats enough gas to keep us going for at least 2 months I think! 'Obrigado' to my non English speaking friend who filled it up!

PS. To anyone who we have met along the way and given contact details to, if you need to do this, we found a company in OVAR near Porto. Take the main toll road (A29) north to Porto, then take the Ovar north turning. Follow this towards Ovar. At one of the roundabouts there is a sign for GPL. Follow this. About 1.5 miles or so down the road on the right is a company called Tutigas. Absolute magic!!
