We left the hotel at around 09:30 hrs and proceeded to have breakfast in a Cafe down the road. While the hotel was priced reasonably, its breakfast was not. In cases like this, we often chose to have breakfast elsewhere and most of the time, we ended up having a better breakfast at a substantially lower price.
Our destination for the day was the area of Foz, on the coast, and Veronika had found a small rural guest house for us. Like on many other occasions before, we had problems entering the hotel's address into our navigator. The reason appears to be that there are many different ways of spelling a village, a road, or whatever. The way a specific address is spelled on a map or even by the hotel itself may be quite different to how it is spelled elsewhere, including the different navigation units. Anyway, as long as one has a working internet connection, these issues can be solved with patience and some extra time.
We arrived at our destination after traveling for 177 kms. The rural guest house turned out to be ok, if simple, but a major problem was the promised internet connection. There was absolutely no WiFi reception in the 2nd floor where our room was located. What made matters worse was that there was no public area where one could sit and be connected.
The internet issue was resolved by us going out early for dinner with not too many options in the area. We ended up at a truck stop which had good internet connectivity and we enjoyed a good dinner.
The best thing about our rural guest house was the fact that there were decent washing facilities and Vero was able to wash and dry all the clohes we had used so far. All of that of course with no additional cost.
