Lisbon to Algarve Coast - NOTHING Went as Planned drsproc: Car rental at the Lisbon airport suxs. Even if you pre-booked. Waited -4 hours once. think about it, our flight was 8 hours and we spent another 4 waiting in a queue for our car. Was so hot they were handing out bottled water for people and kids. Then - when I finally got the car, and rushed off as I was so late, I expected the rental to be fully fueled, I'm driving off on the highway just a few kilometers from the airport, I look down and notice the low fuel light has come on. Had to detour into some small town and finding a gas station was not easy task, then I called the car rental to complain - and no-one answered the contact number. Also watch out for the key-fob, had one run out of battery once and could not find the spare real door key in it! Also lookout for dents and scratches when you get the car, especially low on the body, mirrors and lights and mark all of them on the paperwork before possession of the vehicle. They'll ding you for it otherwise. Also check for extra costs once you return, and fight back, after arriving back home, they dinged our credit card again for -fuel- and toll road costs. I get the toll costs, but fuel was a rip off even if you filled up to the brim. Urghhh!

I love travelling, even the queues, got caught by pre paying a rental car too. They gave me a monstrous Chrysler 300 in rural France. We could take their cheapest car instead. We went out the back & checked at least 20 cars of the type we wanted were available, they just wanted to get the 300 off their books. Wasted a half day with that car. In fairness it works the other way too getting some really great Mercedes & Audi-s, we were upgraded most of the time. I also despised going to Heathrow Airport. I am a plane man but that place is hell on earth, particularly Terminal 3 at the time. I really can relate to the whole video, even McDonalds as a last resort.

Can you mention in the sub titles, -100 countries- vlogs or something to reflect each vlog is part of this 100 series? Then, people will not just watch one log and come to conclusions. your series is actually like a one big movie. real life. I think this would help a lot in getting folks to keep watching even if one vlog becomes not that interesting for them. For us, of course, each one is awesome as it is part of this big story and we have also become part of your journey. -

At last a disaster day! I have followed you guys from takeoff in Nashville and now I realise you are humans like the rest of us. No evening meal! So many firsts in one day. Time for some planning guys. Love your blogs they make my day.

Did you say TAVIRA? - If so this is spooky - cause about a week ago I was contemplating recommending this awesome coastal town - because it is so laid back and cute, but then I forgot - was it TAVIRA u said. Kara. :-)

Yep, no place to park and really short working hours. You are in Europe: D
I'm sorry your day didn't go as planned, it happens. Cape St. Vincent is pretty though, I hope you got a chance to visit it the other day!
