Bonne Matin mes petit pois,
The Right Honorable Lady Fisher, The Doc and I have reached The Algarve.
Internet access has been limited along the Portugese coast so I will attempt to chronical chronologically.
I became an Honorary Portugeezer in the small town of Leixoes, on the night Senors Christiano Ronaldo, Deco, Pepe, Ricardo and the rest of the Portugese football team overcame the mighty Turks 2-0. We watched the match in the distinguished company of the 1977/78 Portugese champions of Leca De Palmeira pictured above.
Checkout Carlos Alberto, 4th from left on back row, pure quality.
At the end of the victorious match arrived the team bus to cruise around town waving flags and scarves, beating drums. The international language of football continued to open doors for us all the way down the Portugese coast.
Ok. The chronological diary isnt going to work, my brain cant cope with the organisation of so many memories so I will try another tack,
A few photos and Videos with descriptions thereafter.
As an honorary Portugeezer I grew a Moustache for the boys.
When Portugal played Germany I was accused too frequently of being German that It only lasted a fortnight.
That reason and the fact that no girls were paying me any attention.
It had to go.
