Arriving at 14.30 (still in Spanish time) we followed a French yacht into the river and up to the marina where we had to berth stern to the pontoon, nasty foreign method of mooring which we have never tried in Serenity, all went well and with help from the Mariniero taking the lines we were snugged up to wait out the weather. Very friendly and helpful man who runs the office, opens the bridge, shows you where to go and helps you moor, also speaks fluent French and English.

We turned our watches back to Portuguese time and enjoyed a leisurely lunch and a wander round the town, one draw back WiFi is not easily available! We now need to investigate the use of local sim cards to cut the price of phone calls and data access.

Now sitting down below while it rains, Sarah is making bread and cakes, and we will find a café later to send this from.
