Road Runner. We are chasing the sun! Sailing Ocean Fox Ep197

#wegotit #whatnow #vanlife
Having recovered from the virus, finishing our quarantine and get a negative result, we are free again to have a second try to go to Portugal.
We then set off to get through France with all their restrictions for British travellers.
We decided to use Carla's Portuguese citizenship to get across the border and in to France. As we are married and Simon has Portuguese residency they let us pass through. On the news they said we would only have 24 hours to cross France but no-one told us that so we took our planned time and route.
We planned a 3 days journey staying in a hotel for the overnight in France and Spain.
Dobby absolutely loves going in the Van so we don't have any problems with that.
After three days we arrive in the beautiful sunny Algarve on the south coast of Portugal.
We are so pleased to be here and enjoy the sun for 2 months!

A little bit about us...

We met in the summer 2015, we were introduced to each other by the virtual world. Eighteen months later we were getting married on a beautiful beach on Barbados, bare foot, very simple ceremony just like a dream!


Two days after the wedding laying on the beach, talking about sailing, Carla suggested... why don't we sail around the world? Guess what Simon said? "Let's do it" He took it with no second thoughts! And here we are, two years after that day in Barbados, we started our adventure in Croatia.

We made it happen working through all the challenges on the way.

Now we are enjoying this wonderful life, and what a wonderful life it is!


As we travel we will cross less fortunate countries, we would love to help to build a school or a health care centre, anything that these people may need, and in our beautiful world this is taken for granted. But for these people it's a dream, or may not even be a dream.

We will look around and when the opportunity to help comes we will put our hands and hearts in to it.
