Just when i was wondering where all the fountains had gone

[Calisteve]

Bottles were sealed and cold. Wonderful. 2nd morning out of Porto.

 

[lovelyshell]

Oh that’s so sweet. I walked the CP central in April and was surprised that there weren’t fountains along the way like there was on the CF.

Oh and a heads up on accommodation so far
Day 1 municipal albergue in Vila Cha highly recommended. 9 out of 10.

Day 2 Sea Soul Esposende - more expensive than your typical albergue but absolutely wonderful. Loads of space and really comfortable with great facilities. Definite 10 out of 10.

And if you ever wondered where all the British Red phone boxes went, well....

Oh I passed that house earlier this morning too so nice. Portugal is full of lovely locals.

You never considered that these were Portuguese phone boxes?

Sorry clearly the attempt at humour failed.

Yes indeed. I thought maybe the house owner had re-filled some old bottles but apparently not as mine was definitely sealed. A very kind gesture that was much appreciated. Bom caminho.

yep! Didn't pick up on that at all.

Problem with text. Have a great day.

I have seen red telephone boxes in many countries during my travels. The particular one pictured might be based on a UK design, but I certainly wouldn't have thought of a red phone box as uniquely British.

Now a blue police box is another matter. We know they appear throughout time and space.

 

[Calisteve]

And White ones - in Hull.
