As tourists when we arrived at 10.15pm, after a harrowing car journey from Duoro valley to Lisbon we reached to find the host had left. My phone was out of charge, yet I'd called from someone else's phone keeping the hosts informed on my whereabouts. As a result we were stranded on the road until way past midnight. It's a nasty thing to do to guests who are traveling from afar ....and both Pedro and Maria were well aware of us driving down. I called for the last time from Europa car , Lisbon saying if reached .At this point Maria was extremely rude.
