Finally Fatima
Well, not quite what I expected. A huge piazza, bigger than St Peters in Rome with modern buildings. A huge cathedral - super modern, Lisa said it could hold 10,000 people, not sure where she got that figure from but it certainly felt like it. We bought a 60cm beeswax candle and lit it. Then proceeded to the spot where Mary was said to have appeared before the three children. We saw two separate women circumnavigating the spot in their knees whilst a mass was said for ...

Spent the rest of the day just looking around the town. Not sure what we will do tomorrow but I'm sure something interesting will ...
Piri Pir chicken!
... from Porto was the drink of choice of course!
We spent our last day in Lisbon riding the famous tram line number 28. These old trams trundle along all these tiny streets only big enough for the tram itself.
We then flew back to Madrid to catch our plane to South America for the next leg of the journey.
We met up with Agape again at Madrid airport as she decided to join us for 2 weeks in ...
