Cabo da Roca Sintra

Cascais este un orasel superb situat pe malul Oceanului Atlantic. Este o fosta statiune regala unde puteti vedea multe biserici si catedrale vechi. Este o adevarata placere sa te plimbi pe plajele mici, cu nisip fin, pe strazile inguste si pietruite, cu numeroase magazine de suveniruri si sa mananci preparate delicioase din peste si fructe de mare …

The palace is amazing, the inside is still full of furniture so one can imagine how Dom Carlos lived with his family. The village is full of beautiful little streets, and wonderful houses …

Efter morgonens frukost lyckades vi trixade oss ut genom Sintras små trånga gator utan att repa upp bilen! Vi tog sikte mot Cabo da Roca som är en punkt där europas fastland når allra längs västerut. Klipporna är ca 150 meter höga med utsikt över atlanten.


Vädret har ju varit lite smått ostadigt men det gick att ta ner taket å solen …

Its been a couple days since I've last written. Sorry about that but I have been going, going, going and am SO tired. Went to the beach the day after we got here. The water was really cold so swimming was not a possibility since it was way to early in the morning for me. On the plus side I only managed to get sunburned in one spot, so go me!!. The …

A seven hour bus ride from Seville and I enter Lisbon crossing the 25^th of April Bridge with the large statue of Jesus (Cristo Rei) behind me.
