12th March
Other than teetotal Paul, I think we all feel a bit weary this morning. But coffee on the terrace and a coffee in the bar on the front seems to have done the trip. Paul's girlfriend is Portugese so she books a table at Fox about 30 minutes down the Guardiana. We go with Simon in his flash A6 hire car and find somewhere en route for a run with the pups. The guardiana is such a great river. There are orange and olive groves all along this length and I understand there are vines further up.
Of course, when we get to the restaurant they say no dogs allowed inside and the outside terrace is very narrow. Eventually we agree to take 2 tables and actually as the sun is out and is it warm it would have been a shame to be inside. Simon suggests we rearrange the tables so that we can all sit together and some friendly banter ensues between him and Paul, for what seems to go on forever and ever. Finally we settle down to a great meal with some vino and the sun is out and it is just what we came out here for.
