Back to the ship moored at Peso da Régua

Approaching Carrapatelo Lock, with the wind creating white tops

Leaving the lock, with Vasco Da Gama waiting to come in

Enjoying the sun on the front deck

 

 

With Trevor and Sheila having a drink before the Captain's Dinner; unfortunately the Captain was not there as he had some issues with the ship to sort out.

Carmen keeping us informed.... or not!
