Vanlife Cheat Day & South to the Algarve - Quest for Offgrid land: Ep.5

Cracking video CJ, never thought about or looked at Portugal, looks great, I just thought about France and Spain to see a old mate in served with. Thank you very much for opening this old gits eyes to Portugal👍

How I envy your progress through Portugal while I'm stuck in the UK for the first winter in ages. I commend you for your determination to learn the language and I have a couple of tips that I found made learning it much easier and enjoyable. Firstly every bar & cafe in Portugal has a TV tuned in to the national news and usually with subtitles because the sound is turned off. You can gain the gist of the news article from the pictures and look up the words you don't understand with your translation machine. Also when they have an English movie on terrestrial television they don't dub the soundtrack like the Spanish do, so you can listen in English while reading the Portuguese translation underneath. My second suggestion is to listen online to the local folk music; Fado. The songs are passionate ballads and the lyrics can be found online together with their English translation.

Thanks man, You know the streets were empty really, but in comparison to the previous weeks it did feel like hustle and bustle lol

cheers bud. Yeah, she was clearly an Ex-pat and that was "her" area and dog walk. bloody brits haha. A portuguese person came over too but he was really nice and just warned us that the police and GNR are targetting campers in that area with fines.

Ouch! thats a big hit! I mean when I say my van did well on fuel, thats taking into account what it is and its weight. I has never been great on fuel, but I was so chuffed it hadnt gotten any worse since the additions. Mine is probably 24-26mpg on a good day. but I have an entire house in it so I offset that as "rent" haha. Ahh beautiful man, I love that part of france, safe journeys!

Excellent video. That beach find wow! Musics ace.

I'm using that word again, awesome. Honestly every video that comes out leaves me awestruck. The views, the cinematography and more importantly lance!!! Where would we be without lance in the videos.

How on Earth did you cope with the teeming throngs in the town, where the site was? ;) Some excellent camera work and editing again. Thank you. Stay safe.

Chas House

Nice one CJ, talking of fuel consumption as you were, how about this, my van is a 2009 Ducato 5.4m, factory conversion. I always got 31-33 on a trip, spain regularly and france. Ive just upgraded wheels to 16' with Goodrich all terrain KO2's. I knew fuel consumption would be affected... But struggle to get 26-27 now at a steady 55 to 60, anything more, and it cruises at 70 all day, it drops alarmingly !! The van looks good though ! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Ouch, currently in France near La Mans on my way to Spain. 👍🏻
