Expedition

(Pastori's European tour begins here.)

Some scenery along the way.

Now Pastori and The Wife had on their journey already reached Portugal. The geopoint in the village of Rio Maior was worth trying to reach. In the terribly hot weather their drive went along in a sweaty but happy mood.

Pastori approaching hashpoint.

We could get to about 100 m from the point by the car. This time we also brought the smarthphone into navigation and could therefore get to about 6 meters from the point, which is thus reached. It was on a sandy hill, on which there were growing some coniferous trees, eucalyptus trees and glass bottles. There was about +30° C at the moment of reaching the point.

The home of the glass bottle tree?

We thank the editor of our texts and other followers for trusting us, now we finally got our equipment to function properly and could provide some evidence in photographic form. And as the Editor is well aware, Pastori is not very comfortable with these techical gadgets.

Our tour continues still due south.

The next report here.

  Finally! The GPS proof! [Editor's note: Of course none of us believed that Pastori was making this up and cleverly staging all these pictures in their home studio in Valtimo..]

  Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!
