Portugal…

Fly home tomorrow so here are a few observations*:
- road markings are treated as decoration and not to be taken seriously
- traffic islands also, although they are quite useful to practice cornering on two wheels at speed
- parrots on a lead are acceptable café companions
- Lisbon beggars are the scum of the earth using puppies and rabbits to encourage donations
- little old grannies can be found on deckchairs on most streets in Nazaré holding signs advertising rental properties

And just when I thought the bizarre quota had been reached two people walked past me on the boardwalk in full circus stiltwalker get up, he even had an inflatable ring around his middle
