Yesterday it was time for a party for the Swedes at the car park in Albufeira, here in Portugal, again. Some have moved on and others have been added. Soon many will part again - to eventually be seen at some other site somewhere in Portugal or Spain. It's good to get together and celebrate while there's still time!
Sandwich cake and whiskey
It was not so long ago that it was party at the caravan park in Albufeira last time. That time there was a birthday party and it all ended with dancing and music at high volume in one of the motorhomes. Now it was time again!
This time we offered a delicious sandwich cake here at the the car park in Albufeira and it was a really nice afternoon and evening at the long table. For our part, the evening ended with fine whiskey in Eva and Lasse's large motorhome, which they live in permanently.

That sounds like a great life with a motorhome!
It was fun to see the pictures from inside your car. We have travelled a lot by boat so it looks quite familiar and you get a certain idea of how to do it when there is limited space.
Enjoy your journey!

Yes, now you can try how we pensioners feel when we spend the winter in warmer countries 🙂.
See many familiar faces around the tables.
We don't have ACSI anymore, discovered we weren't using it so we cancelled the card this year, but we're still doing well. Many campsites have lower prices in the low season anyway.
Stay safe on your journey.

Ama de casa, parties are always nice!

Solveig, I also know someone who enjoyed it! Have a good time at the barber in Seville - of course where you should get a haircut!
🙂
Agneta, motorhome life has some similarities with boating!
Maggan and Ingemar, it's nice to see familiar faces! We'll see how much we use ACSI, but now it's just as well to wait... We used the card a lot on the trip down though.

Friends, good food and drink; an unbeatable combo as I like to say.
It looked really nice and nice to be able to sit outside. Here it is snow and now -2.
But next week we will be the ones sitting outside, at least I hope so.

That's motorhome life at its best in winter!
In a few years' time, we will do the same, full-time!
Have fun and enjoy.......:-)

To be honest, I don't know if I would really enjoy that life. I mean, parties are ok, but only socialising with Swedish pensioners is probably not my thing. But of course, during the winter months it's the penschis who go south. Not many "young" people take a "sabbatical" and travel like you do. I wonder when you will be involved in the national sport of the Swedish penschis - boule;-)

Ditte, it's still a bit chilly here, but we think better weather is on the way!
Rolle and Carina, you will have a great time!
Anja, haha, yes, there will be many miles in this car.
😉
BP, we will travel to different places, experience different things and meet many different people during this trip, both younger and older, both Swedes and people from other countries. We are happy to meet both younger and older people and we don't think that age plays such a big role. On the other hand, we don't want to stay in the same place all winter... as soon as we get our camping licence, we move on....

Well, that's how it is, the motorhome craze is a party, or I really mean "YOLO".
