after something unprofesionellen check out the ***** tivoli hotel, you wanted us to charge € 120 more than we had fixed in writing when the booking, came the next shock - the oil temperature light was red , and went once is not enough. because the motor but impossible after 15 seconds in terms of temperature in the red may range, we observed the temperature, which, however, leveled off in the normal range, but for safety we went twice around the block - alternative was a budget-store, right next to the hotel. last resort, because temperature remained the same, but no warning was leaving, motor on and off again, which helped light stayed away.
after the Spaniards have occurred since yesterday in the Algarve, we were glad to escape the hustle and bustle maga same place. the direction of travel lisbon - with additional dimensions urlaubswütiger spanish ;-) - problemslos was, on the highway, had to pay 19 euro for the track of the Algarve to Lisbon, in a virtually non-existent, was also Good Friday, although we have never experienced a lot of traffic , fuel prices: 95er = 1.45 €.
the roundabouts we have become accustomed to, individual cases were even in the roundabout roundabout, too, we have mastered, roundabouts keep the traffic flow, we find good, better than unnecessarily at the traffic lights need to; Portuguese drive on a large whole, considerate, slow down a for Heel immensely overtake only when they drive so close to as possible, that you feel as they do in the boot, to weave around and then to pass, and again, on the highway right to classify, So very considerate, and Austria and atypical. that the Portuguese people to go to the Easter holiday algarve, south one noticed the massive traffic. We gave back the car at the airport (had originally wanted a very early flight, so the hotel by taxi ride from the airport, who knows how to get out ;-) and went by taxi to the Hotel Altis Park.
summary: checking out of the tivoli hotel wasn't easy, they wanted to charge us 120 euro more than the price we had got the reservation on - they refrained from the initial request, though. the algarve that day was being flooded by spanish tourists starting their easter-holidays.
by the way fuel is 1.45 euro (= USD 1.95), that makes USD 7.4 per gallon (!). toll on highway to lisbon was about 20 euro, about 27 USD , life else is quite cheap, if you stay away from the hotels and surrounding areas.
driving is fun, aand without any major problems; there are a lot of roundabouts and some roundabouts within another roundabout - my favorite !
