Remember this from Portugal in 1984?

Greetings, Maja and Andy.

This afternoon Karin was looking through our 41-year-old travel diary and stumbled across your names. We must confess that our own memories were more than a little vague, so we imagine you will be rather surprised to get this!

According to the diary (which must be right), you were on a bike tour. We met in a restaurant one evening, shared the same campsite and gave you a lift in our camper the next day. We assume that you, Maja, took this photo with us and our son Nicholas - then 18 months old.

We have been re-reading the diary because we are planning a six-week trip around France and northern Spain late spring, although the camper days have given way to an EV and hotels.

We enjoyed the memories, as well as reading about you both - and reading Tim's obituary of your mother.

Richard and Karin, in Darmstadt, Germany
