Eventful first steps in to Portugal

Set off early (for us) and stopped at first services in Portugal for diesel. Pumps were not working, probably because diesel is 15c/litre cheaper in Spain 5km away - first mistake. In the confusion I left the filler cap on a pump - second mistake - but did not find out till an 1/2 hour later when filling up in Guarda. Decided to retrace tracks 40Km and sure enough it was still there on pump. Everyone but me knows diesel is cheaper in Spain! As it was lunch time by now we had a coffee and sandwich.

Nice drive down thru mountians to Ortiga/Macao area where we planned to stop the weekend.
