What I'm saying on Twitter (rubbish usually)

Off to Portugal

posted Tuesday, 2 September 2008

As I walked across London Bridge this morning in driving, horizontal rain more appropriate to a North Sea Fisherman than a City commuter, I realised my holiday can't come quickly enough.

We're off tomorrow to Portugal for 10 days or so.  Looking very much forward to sun, sea, sand, and of course my first taste of Portugese food.

I'll be trying out my new online toy while I'm there - no access to email or the web, but I'll be posting occasional messages on Twitter - check out http://twitter.com/Rleader while I'm gone!

Have a wonderful time. Do try the many fish dishes, they were superb. I'll have a look at Twitter but can't say that I truly understand what it's all about...

Say hello to Portugal for me. And don't forget to eat the bacalhau.

How was Portugal? I recently had my first trip there - had some amazing Sea Bass freshly caught that day, some awesome bacalau and some massive gambas - nom nom nom

This is a great webblog. When I was traveling, I used sites like this to find the best places and now I am a steaknut so I go to www.citysteak.com . If you are ever traveling in the U.S. and looking for a steakhouse, check it out. Have a great trip!
