A Portophile organizing a Portugal Festival
Now, I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only Portophile alive. Beg pardon – what's a Portophile, you ask? Simple, same thing as a Francophile but then for Portugal. Someone who appreciates the portuguese lifestyle, the language, the country, the traditions, the art,...
Renting a car without a credit card – how do you do that?
The only lucky guy I know who can borrow a car from his friends while on vacation here is called Koos. (Sorry people, he's a dutch guy, so he has a dutch name … ) He once was a volunteer here, and to my surprise arrived with a car with a portuguese license plate - but...
You can’t sleep a dent in air
I thought I was smart. After sleeping a dent in 4 mattresses in a few years, I got a bright idea. I thought. Turned out a bit differently than I expected ... I've been sleeping in the same bed for nearly 30 years - but not with the same mattress, of course The bed...
Portugal at the beginning of the end of an ice age
Latest news of this week: it is cold. During the day it goes well - from 11 o'clock and on it is fine. Bright blue sky, nice and warm in the sun, fine. Until about 5 o'clock, because then the sun starts to set, and it gets very cold. For us it is very cold. At night...
A room with or without breakfast in and for August
The phone rings. A friend of Augusto's, whom I know vaguely. I'm not very good at remembering names or faces (very strange: sometimes I remember a name, sometimes a face - so I don't really have an excuse like face blindness or dyslexia or something) but since people...
Glamping, bamping of framping – camping 2.0
I come from a camping family. My early holiday memories consist mainly of arriving at the campsite, picking a spot among the trees for our huge tent, and looking longingly at the swimming lake because we children had to hold a tent pole for centuries so my father...
My kingdom for a horse
"Look, there is a horse on the road!" son Broes shouts in surprise, and walks towards the road in the rain to take a look. I follow him, but wait on the sidewalk for the latest news. Too cold and wet. A horse on the road - that doesn't happen every day! A moment later...
Very different C-words for our bubble in 2021
Well… it's really not to rub it in (again), or to secretly gloat, but we really had a nice New Year. I've already wished everyone a Happy New Year via Facebook and Whatsapp, but to be clear: I wish everyone a very good and healthy 2021! https://youtu.be/RuNDj7ZZY_E We...

Christmas greetings from Portugal
Almost Christmas, almost the end of the year How many people have not said so far: it was a strange year. I sincerely hope it wasn't really bad for you - if you've built your own business or lost your job, it's not a weird year, it's a disaster year. I hope it all...
