Wednesday 28th October

This enormous articulated camper was parked next to us during the night and we photographed it as it was leaving in the morning. What a monstrosity! I've no idea how long it is but it has 10 wheels.

 

We travelled north to the town of Vila de Foz Coa. Saw these interesting old fortifications along the way.

As we approached the town we just missed getting a photo of the cruise ship on the river Douro.

This area where the river Coa joins the Douro has been designated an Archaeological Park in recognition of the numerous stone age rock carvings which have been found in the area.

 

Ann visited the museum where reproductions of many of the rock carvings can be seen.

The museum itself is an amazing modernist building. This is the entrance.

The municipality at Vila Nova de Foz Coa has thoughtfully set aside dedicated overnight parking places for camper vans. Here's our view for the evening.We travelled 63 miles (101 kilometres) today.
