Carrazedo
Well the long drive this morning took us about three hours to complete and brought us to the little village of Carrazedo. This is where we will be spending the next two weeks volunteering in exchange for meals and accomodation. Basically, the deal is that in exchange for a few hours work a day, for just five days of the week, we get a nice cosy room and all our meals cooked for us. And loads of free time to go sight seeing. We have done this sort of thing before and have found that as well a a cheap week/fortnight, it also gives you the oppertunity to learn more about the country or region, and get to visit some out of the way places and really soak up the local culture. So, on that basis, the next couple of weeks worth of blogs will feature in and around this area with little trips out and the food that we eat. After the long drive today, we just settled ourselves in and got an early night in preparation for our first day of volunteering tomorrow.
