Solo Women Van Life | A Change from Wild Camping [Ep 147]

It's much harder to wild camp in Portugal due to fines and the threat of being moved on, so because my travel buddy Sandra has to pop back to Ireland for a few days we decided it would be easier and safer to stay on a campsite for a few days.
During this down time I met up with another fellow Van lifer and Veteran Linny who spends most of her time on road to explore the area of Tavira and the Rio Formosa in search of the famous Portuguese Tart.
Once my travel buddy returned we set off in our camper vans to explore the ancient capital of Silves and find ourselves at another quirky little campsite called Mikkis Place which was very bohemian and another place to rest up before heading Northwards on our home journey back to the UK

Lots of you have been asking about my Bluetti power bank, so here is the link to all the technical info bit.ly/49EC4t4 and Bluetti is having a Spring Sale, if you are interested!

------------
Winters in the UK can be miserable especially when living on a boat and with all the canal lock closures for maintenance, I began to feel a little trapped. So for the next 2 months I decided to join up with another fellow solo female traveller and set off across Europe in our two very old camper vans in search of sunshine and to experience Van life at it's best.
I hope you enjoy something a little different as I swap boat life for van life.
------------
Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.

[@jimdare8241]

Difference between a Cormorant and a Shag is about 5 pints. Hope this helps 😁

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

😂😂😂😂

[@tonysimister4825]

Asking your partner for a cormorant can result in disappointment. Does that help?

[@spacespace764]

What a great video. Thank you for your service Linny 🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💜💜💜 Sandra … just popping home and back … amazing! Wonderful adventures ladies! Safe journeys all. Portugal looks very pretty. … but I have to say … I am missing the beautiful green and landscapes of the UK. Much love and respect.

[@orchidhouse297]

That was great fun, very interesting and enjoyable, especially accompanied this time with a glass of Johnnie Walker Black Label. Portugal has some very fascinating places tucked away, not advertised but waiting to be discovered. I love it when ever we got therre.

Your comment about pot holes made hubby and I laugh. You’d also feel right at home in Sydney Australia with our pot holes everywhere. Just wanted to say we are really enjoying your van series. We love sitting down together to watch our “friend” on her travels.

Your backgorund music is fantastic. We assume they are your compositions.Once again, thanks for taking us on your adventures. Please thank Sandra too!

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Ahoy! Not all I’m afraid as it takes me so long to make a piece of music and I don’t have any of the equipment with me. Plus by paying for a subscription, i can find more appropriate music to fit the scenes better …. Hopefully when I’ve more time I’ll make more music too 😃😃

Great video Heidi, it's taken me day two to watch it. I adopted a rescue puppy, and boy oh boy... it's a lot of work. Happy to learn you will be heading back to the pirate ship.

[@nomo9344]

Was a Croc wearer back in the early 2000s; however, I found they had no grip, thus resulting in slipping on any surface remotely wet. Also, any place aptly called ".....Place to Stay," certainly has my vote. Great video as always. Enjoy life. It's too short.

[@cherylwells5983]

Enjoy ladies ❤xxx

[@lindawilliams9635]

Love watching you girls on your travels , and to see Bonnie living her best life warms my heart ❤️ I know it’s hard work keeping us lot at home entertained thank you so much for letting us come along, love to you all, linda and Nibs xx

Fantastic trip away Heidi, I.m 68 and have three pair of crocs. I've just repaired one crock as my big toe wore through. I cut up the heel strap ( never use them) and used some silicone to stick a piece down, it's working well. Keep enjoying yourselves, Cheers form WA Trev

Thank you for sharing your adventures. Cheers! 😊

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thanks for watching!

[@katesweeney6109]

What a wonderful video, lovely to meet Linny too. So a cormorant is bigger, with a heavier, thicker bill than a shag. A distinguishing feature is that cormorants have eyes situated within skin while a shag's eyes are in a black feathered area on their heads. Also a cormorant has a flatter forehead than a shag which has a steep one, with a crest on top during the breeding season. If you see one of these birds with a white thigh patch (visible well in flight too) it is definitely a cormorant. I hope that helps with your birding a little!

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thank you 😃🏴‍☠️

[@franktuckwell196]

Two pairs of crocs, one of which is padded for winter wear, the other is good for rivers and beach. Quote, The common cormorant or shag, Builds its nest in a paper bag. The reason for this is no doubt, So as to keep the lightning out, But wandering herds of bears with buns, Steal the bags to catch the crumbs (Ogden Nash)

[@guiart4728]

Always happy to get a smile on my face seeing you and your friends and Bonny getting it on! (Don’t be rude!)

This is just between you and me Heidi, please don't tell anyone else. I do indeed have a pair of crocks ( no not them, don't be rude). Mine sit by the back door for nipping out to the garden. Bird feeding, washing and stuff. Love your videos, you're just natural whereas others try too hard to be entertaining. Don't change 🤗👍

[@janistotham-davies4300]

Oh my oh my what a fabulous country Portugal is and the camp sites you stayed on especially Miki’s were just magical! I have been so enjoying your wonderful van journey’s and I think you should do it every year and maybe explore France more and Germany, which is very beautiful. Watching Bonnie have such relaxing fun will Sandra’s lovely two dogs and all the other dogs you have met is so lovely, she is doing so very well and obviously having the time of her life just like you and Sandra are. I can’t wait for next weeks travel vlog. Stay safe, and carrying on having wonderful fun girls. One more thing, that huge castle you visited was enormous compared with British ones, wow they built them big over there!❤x x❤

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Aww thanks so much Janis, yes I would love to do France, Italy and Germany in the future and even Poland but the problem with winter time is they are bloody freezing 🤣🤣 so I would need to do summer time which is boating season and when I earn my money 😩😩 but hopefully in the future I can try to make this happen 😃😃

[@bethwiles8214]

Crocs are very popular here in New Zealand. At my hospital last week a surgeon had one pink and one blue on, so funny. I have been wearing them for years, love them. Keep safe girls

[@jamesmaxwell1922]

Another great vlog. You are seeing (and showing us) some incredible sights and architecture. Bonny does NOT have problems, she has 'interesting character traits"! Seeing Sandra's retrievers enjoying a swim reminded me of something I saw a long time ago in Reading. I was walking in Kings Meadow (by the River Thames) when a guy with a large black (and very hairy) dog got close to the river. The dog, when he saw the river, took off at high speed towards it, towing his owner behind him (who, because of the way his hand was looped through the lead, could not let go). Said dog entered the Thames, followed very shortly afterwards by his owner. The owner's hand then came loose, so he was able top get back to the bank, climbing out soaking wet and swearing. I was grinning, and the guy, when he looked at me, could see the funny side of things (fortunately it was a nice warm day). I said something like "It looks like he is enjoying the swim", and got the response of "I have never had a dog do THAT to me before!". I asked what the breed of dog was, and got the reply of "New...something". "Newfoundland?". "That's it!". It turned out that the owner was not aware of some of the Newfoundland traits, but had known that they were very friendly and good with children (they are known as The Gentle Giants). When I told the owner that the Newfoundland also had such a thick second coat that their skin never gets wet, and that they also have webbed feet he did not believe me (on the second point, at least). It was well over an hour before the dog climbed out (he was a youngster, first time in deep water, and was having WAY too much fun to want to leave), and the owner grabbed a paw, splayed it out, and exclaimed "I've got a duck, not a dog!". A month or so later I saw the pair coming onto Kings Meadow, and as soon as it was safe the owner let him off the lead, whereupon the dog sprinted to the river, causing a very impressive splash as he entered the water.

But Sandra, I didn't know about the door opposite the main door, that's information needed by we who trifle with the folks who hold the keys! What a super tour of the places you have been and places that you are in Portugal. Really great. We be sticking with you Heidi, have no fear.
