| If anyone is planning on travelling down Portugal and wondering which PAYG simm card for your dongle I can recommend Voafone, we have had a brilliant connection most of the way down even way out in the sticks. I am sure someone will report a black spot but we have not found one yet | |

| Best I can tell you is that 15 euros buys you the sim card from any Vadafone shop which gives you about 1500 hrs wifi and then you may, if you are a geek, be able to top up on line or at the nearest Vodafone shop or as I did at the post office | |

| You'll probably need to get it unlocked Frank, when are you going? I have a Vodafone dongle you can borrow _________________ Keeping Leapys boat sailing [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| A mi-fi you put the sim card in it and it creates a wireless network, you can connect 5 devices to it _________________ Keeping Leapys boat sailing [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| Did you have to enter them manually? I've had 3 sim cards in mine and always auto detected the settings I'll have to look at setting it up for Portuguese Vodafone before I lend it to Frank than I'm going to set it up now with a fool proof SSID and password before I forget _________________ Keeping Leapys boat sailing [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| Depends on your time scale, there are some good offers on Ebay but most larger towns have a Vodafone shop where I bought mine from and surprising got it topped up a a Portugese Post office | |

| Hey Ladylee I have just looked on Ebay and be careful as so many are just for phones and not data even Bob got confused
Perhaps safer to nip into Portuguese Vodafone shop as they all seem to speak some English | |

The reason for asking is we will be calling at your site on the way home and also Belle Vista camping for a recce, thats in Spain north of Algeciras.

| We will certainly be at Zahora for the next few weeks as our doggy is due in season and there are no stray dogs around here I am on a mission though as there is a nice cottage for sale up near Laval in France and I would love to see it but having difficulty convincing Lynda to leave the sun as yet | |

| Looks like we will miss you and Lynda then as we will not be down your way until end of Feb. Hope the mission goes well as the area around Laval is great and Mayenne is not far away  I am getting the winter blues real bad now and cannot wait to get away (maybe before Barb thinks we are going but hush for now) my problem is keeping her away from home for longer than a couple of months. Will have to sweet talk her into letting me go south then she can fly out later, Hmmm  Enjoy the  Alan as its getting real cold here with snow around and they say we due a freezing time for a while. | |
