... of the open windowed tram! We were served glasses of port wine and sampled a famous pastry here called Pasties de Nal de Belem which was a delicious custard cup of yum with cinnamon. I was glad we couldn't find more of those things:) Back to the ship and a hunt for a bottle of Port to take home. We are definitely sharing that one!! The end of another amazing day here in the Atlantic...yes that's ...

Abby and I took a day trip to Sintra on Friday before catching our late night train to Madrid.

... tudhatta, hogy minden pénteken a Zappában vagy a Sörcsarnokban edzek... és pont péntek volt. Amúgy Cascais egy kedves halászfalu, egyben királyi fürdőhely is volt, tehát szállodái is vannak, de itt csak 1/4 órát maradtunk, mert már őrült késő volt. Estorilon épp ezért már csak áthajtottunk, körbejártuk autóval a kaszinót, ez egy elegáns hely, például aki be akar léni, annak először is meghívó kell.

An observation of mine is that after being in cities where the taxis were beaters, here in Lisbon they are all recent models of Mercedes Benz.

... it was built by the Arabs in the 8th century as a defense and observation post. Stunning 360 degree views of the village and surroundings towards the coast showed you why they picked this place. They would have had plenty of warning of intruders, and would have been virtually impossible to raid. A palace called Palaco Montserrat sits on a hill above the castle. (Built about 10 centuries later). Took the ...

... views change so often and every small steet or corner can bring something totally unexpected.. Sightseeing Lisbon on foot can be kind of exhausting, but I guess Lisbonians know about it and they have perfectly accomodated to the tourists' needs by opening a lot of tiny cafes in every corner of the city, selling above all else cold Cervesa;-) Once really exhausted, one can take a famous yellow tram, which are ...
