A bit off topic, but that’s one thing that really annoys me about visiting Hawaii.
It’s almost impossible to find public restrooms while touring the islands.

Never got an explanation from the locals that really made any sense. Most commonly told it was because junkies used the rest rooms to shoot up and too often died there.

Visiting Spain & Portugal has long been on my bucket list. I hope I live long enough to check it off!

I finally learned that many restaurants in Portugal HIDE their restrooms at the top of the stairs or at the bottom in the basements. In fact when we were at the train station near Porto in the snack room, I told me wife that there is sure to be a bathroom at the top of the nearby steep stairs despite NO signs indicating it. So up the stairs I went and I was right!

We are visiting Spain next year but Portugal was like a wonderful dream. Incredible food, great wine (also beer), and the Portuguese people were great. I still have fond flashback memories of it. Reviewing these videos I made in Portugal helps me relive many pleasant experiences there.

If you make it to Portugal, go to a regular grocery store and look at the selection of sardine cans.
