Hi there Mandy and Lee, glad to see you're still having fun exploring beautiful Portugal. Have some catching up to do on your vlogs, been overseas for a while.Really pleased to say we will be travelling to Porto ourselves this summer...... I can't wait! Your channel has been so useful for checking out places to visit and eat whilst we are there, I'm making notes. Love the style of your vlogs, proper video diaries and very informative. Hope you have a wonderful time in Nazare, take care Karen x.
Hi Karen. Thanks for your kind words. We are still really enjoying Portugal and hope to show plenty more. Hope you have a lovely time in Porto. It is a beautiful city so it's hard not to. 😁 Happy travels! ~ Lee
Thanks Peter. We've done quite a few trips in Portugal so are getting used to it now although we still managed to get ourselves a bit lost coming out of the train station. 😂😂 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers Hi Lee 👋 Thank You for your reply mate. Yes, we've all been watching your travels & so we know you both have gathered knowledge & experience, but it's your's & Mandy's 'Hey-Ho' manner that is so impressive & for nervous people (like me & many other's), it shows that we can push ourselves to do the things we'd like to do. All the best guy's X X
@@petercharnley7138 Cheers for the kind comment, Peter. The important thing is to accept that occasionally things will go wrong. When they do, take it with a smile and learn from the mistake. Normally it's something that can easily be remedied. We're so pleased that you find these videos helpful. That's why we started this channel to show people how easy it is to travel independently and on a budget. We're glad it's working. 😁 ~ Lee
Hello you Two 👋🏻 That was fun! The buses in Portugal are far superior to the buses we have in Canada’s Capital! I had a car the entire time I was in Portugal but took the train to & from Parede to Lisbon and when I was leaving Atouguia (Lourinhã) I left the car there and took a very early morning bus up to Lisboa and the airport. I had a lot of luggage too… but all went smoothly and the bus was comfy! I think Pingo Doce #pingodoce should sponsor you. I loved shopping there! That and Lidl. Looking forward to those Nazaré clips. I saw some amazing waves at Praia Norte and an incredible sunset. I had no interest in surfing before spending 3 months hanging out in Baleal & Peniche and see those gigantic waves. Now I’m hooked on Big Wave surfing. I know far too much now, LOL. Thanks for another great video.
Hi Jen. Glad you enjoyed it. Both bus and train travel is very good and reasonable here. At times we wish we had a car to get to some more of the remote places and small towns. Bus prices seem to be very good to the bigger cities but a lot more expensive to get to the lesser visited places. We loved Nazaré so much and were fortunate enough to be there for the biggest waves of the season. That video will be coming soon. 😁👍 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers Lee, I just realized you and Mandy are at my friend Eva's place. What a small world! (but not really, 😉) Hopefully we can keep you both in Portugal a long while so you can meet my little cat and come for a visit!
@@JenShea wow... It is a small world isn't it? 😊. Eva is lovely and we are so fortunate that she found us on RUclips! 😃. We'd love to visit you and your cat if the opportunity arises. 👍
@@yahoryermakou5143 We were in Portimão over winter last year and saw quite a bit of the coast but I'd like to see more. So many beautiful beaches down there. ☀️
Your videos are my wife’s and I Sunday morning ritual…we LOVE your videos and you two are excellent hosts. Portugal will be our home within 4 years as we are “expatting”(?) from the US..keep up the great videos and we’re looking forward to your future travels and videos… P.S. I’ve never heard of cheese complimenting peanut butter. Have I missed out? ✌🏼
Hi Kevin. So pleased that you and your wife enjoy our videos and that you can benefit from them as you plan your future life in Portugal. We're sure that you will enjoy life here once you make the move. Best of luck to you both and yes, peanut butter and cheese is definitely a thing. Mandy has sworn by it for years and she has me on board too now. 👍😁 ~ Lee
The bus and train tips from Cascais to Nazare are very helpful. It looks like Mandy has less bags this time. 😂 I am amazed how Mandy filmed while carrying all those bags. Thank you for another great video and tips.
Thanks Sue. Mandy still had the same amount of stuff but maybe packed better this time. It's easier travelling in winter because you wear more clothes in transit and have to carry less. 😁 We're trying to cover as much travel information as we can to help people who want to know how to get around. Glad you found it useful. 👍😁 ~ Lee
My posterior aches every time I see a coach or bus just done 3 day round trip, you guys deserve a medal 🏅great vid as always onwards to new adventures 😎👍
Haha... It's always good to avoid sitting on the back of the bus to avoid posterior damage. 😂 Travelling over here is really pretty easy and straightforward as the distances aren't too great. Glad your trip went well. 👍~ Lee
Hi Mandy and Lee, It's so nice to see your confidence as you use public transport. I can't wait to return to Portugal and travelling this way makes it so affordable. I so echo that lovely feeling of starting a new journey that Lee mentioned. Being "on the move" is the best vibe ever. I love how you show costs and information so clearly in your vlogs. Just so interesting. So I am just half way through my journey. I really enjoyed Kosovo, so unapologetic. Now in North Macedonia. Very different. Country 95! It's going well. But I don't want to rock the boat because I don't know yet my final trip costs. You never know what could happen!. I thought I would try out a variety of hostels. The cheapest being in Skopje, 6 euros, very cosy, convenient location, pretty comfortable. Not as much sleep as I like but great vibe for meeting people and free fruit/thick chocolate biscuits, coffee and tea. At Lake Ohrid..9 euros, very clean, professional, ladies dorm has own shower and balcony with view of the lake. Nice vibe. Host is great! Not really eating out much. Trying to save a bit of money by using supermarkets and fellow travellers have given me bit of food (and beer) they don't need. Ohrid had so much natural beauty. I can pack a picnic and not spend anything. I fly back on the 8th. Looking forward to your next film. .
Hi Julie. Thanks for the update. Sounds like your trip is going really well. Great to hear North Macedonia is still good value for money. We loved our time there too. If you are continuing on to Albania you can get a train from the border town on the lake to Tirana which is a real experience and dirt cheap! Happy travels. 😁~ Lee

What a lovely train ride along the seaside
Oh we do love to be beside the seaside! 🎶🎶 😁
Wow! Those waves at the end!!!
They were epic! More to come in the next episode! 😍 ~ Lee
Frual- very interesting shots. 📹
Thank you! It's always great to hear such positive feedback! 😁😃 ~ Mandy
Beautiful 🚌❤🚌❤
Another great Portuguese bus journey. Thank you, Rede Expressos 🙏😁

Such amazing good value for the public transport there. One of the big reasons I love it so much.
Yes it certainly is great value. Travel here is a real bargain! How does it compare to Spain these days?
@@FrugalTravellers I don’t know - we didn’t use any as we stayed local. We were only there for 5 days but I managed to squeeze 11 vlogs out of it! 😆
@@PlanetImo Awesome! Looking forward to catching up with them. Hope you had a fantastic time! 👍
You make travel look so easy. So relaxing & no stress. Love you guys X X

Thank you so much. We haven't been to Algeria but we'd love to one day. 😊 ~ Lee
Cool video guys, that must be the cheapest Pingo Dingo lunch ever!
Thank you Cindy! Pingo does us proud again as it always does. Where would we be without it? 😁 ~ Lee
Very interesting. Good useful info. Nice souvenirs
Thank you so much. Glad you found it useful. 👍 ~ Lee
