Well, there will be more holidays I guess, but no more posts about them for the time being, except to say that we LOVED Portugal. Not just the lovely weather, but the friendly people and the general helpfulness all around.
Starting with the fact that just about every set of steps anywhere had a matching ramp so making buggy (or wheelchair) access simple, to the desire to help you get where you want to go, to making you as a customer feel welcome, even if it means a bit of extra effort on the staff's part.
Arriving back in Belgium at the *lovely* Charleroi airport (in the rain) to be greeted by a grumpy, unhelpful bus driver just highlighted all the more what a helpful place Portugal is.
No pictures of helpful Portugese people I'm afraid, but here's the man in his buggy that they were being helpful to :)
