By the time we had finished our 9-day, 2500 km trip around Portugal we had grown fond of our little Budget rental - a Fiat Punto.It turned out to be just the right size for small villages and could do just fine on the 4-lane superhighways as well. I did not even find the Portugese to be crazy drivers as some reports had suggested (could it be because I may be half-crazy myself?).Altogether, for the 9-day trip, the rental charge was E365 (US$450) and gas (petrol) cost about E1.09 per litre. Still, it was nice to deliver it back to the airport by about 3:30 PM with no extra scratches on it! We still had not eaten, so it was time for a taxi ride into our hotel in Lisbon - where we ended up having our picnic in our room! After that, my wife passed out on the bed for a couple of hours. She later figured out that she had been so up-tight about our morning traffic jam drive into Lisbon,...
