Day 35 Tues 15.03.2011
Location: Praia da Manta Rota 
We woke this morning to blue sky and sunshine.
We walked to the supermarket for bread milk and bottled water, only a five minute walk.
After lunch we walked along the boardwalk over the sand dunes to the beach, there is a second motorhome parking place just along from this one but after yesterdays rain part of it was flooded.
We have been told that a while ago all of the motorhomes parked here were asked by the police to leave and no camping signs were erected. Apparently the local shop keepers and restaurant owners protested and the signs were covered up by the town mayor and the motorhomes returned.
The Dutch couple that we keep bumping into pulled in today and their dog was very pleased to see Paul.
We have been sitting outside in shorts and t shirts drinking cold beer, Paul has been plodging (that’s paddling to us southerners) in the sea but it was a bit cold for me.
