Festool Portugal

[sancho57]

I was on vacation with my family and while heading back to the resort I saw festool dealer. I stopped and went in and talked to them, they were very nice people, I tool some photos of their store and thought I would post it here. I told them about the FOG and showed them it on their computer. They said they would check next week.

I bet you were popular with Mrs Jobsworth!

A while ago I went on holiday with the missus, at the time I was heavily into my fishing. She wouldn't let me take any fishing gear because she didn't want to be a "fishing widow" the whole holiday. I argued that I'd just end up buying one there and it would cost less to take my own rod and reel. She countered that she knew I wouldn't be happy with a cheap €10 POC rod from the gift shop and that was that, I wouldn't be fishing.

Get to the hotel and across the road was the biggest fishing tackle store I've ever seen and where the river went into the sea right next to our hotel was a sort of large pond/small lake formation, locally renowned for huge mackerel. [big grin]

Yea I heard about it, she left the car running when we pulled up to the store. Then she came inside to see if I was buying something. Well good thing she did, they had some cool stuff I hadn't seen before.

Hi Ron

You remember that I was unable to come to your last Festool party  [sad] ? Well, we were on holiday in The Netherlands where we go every year for the cycling, great coffee and clean camp sites.

One morning I said to Mrs P that we were going to cycle to Arnhem which was about 22 miles away. The distance was no big deal but it was one of the hottest days that year. Oh, and we went there to visit an amazing woodwork shop - Baptist  [cool]. We were warmly welcomed by the owners of the family run shop but I did, mysteriously, find myself having to visit flower shops and gift shops almost every day for a week afterwards  [crying] !

I'm headed to Croatia at the beginning of May and hope to find the local Festool dealer.  I would like to pick up something small that we don't have here in the states.

We found this one just driving back to the resort. I think if your renting a car and driving around you might be able to find something.
