Vip Inn Miramonte Sintra

... bridge. I have to admit i was just a little nervous about clearing that thing!! We took a whirlwind tour of the city which started out by coach and Bob was getting all nostalgic going by the Sheraton Lisbon where he stayed so much when he was flying the 757. Saw all kinds of monuments, cathedrals, palaces, and then the fun part!! After a short break at the Belem Tower and Monument of Discoveries ...

... yellow, purple, pinkish orange - looks like a fairy-tale. Amazing views from the top.

After the roller coaster ride, i mean, bus ride down the rocky hillside of the Palace, we had to head back to Lisbon to grab our things and head to Madrid.

If you go to Lisbon, you must, must, must take a day trip to Sintra... better yet, STAY in Sintra, and take a day trip to Lisbon.

... I first reached the Palace of Pena, or more correctly its grounds. I was already exhausted from hiking an hour and half in the thirty degree heat, but exploring the grounds of the Palace of Pena erased all fatigue. Old Moorish fountains, ivy covered and tiled shelters, and the ruins of old churches scattered the lush grounds. The Palace of Pena itself is a multicolored, brilliant palace overlooking the beautiful ...

... ket felfroclizni, hogy versenyezzenek velük. (Szerintem legfeljebb minden tesztoszterontúltengéses állatról azt fogják hinni, hogy civilautós rendőr.) Viszont a korrupció ismeretlen, mióta valaki elhatározta, hogy kitakarítja az országot. Egy idő után már több rendőr volt börtönben, mint szabadlábon. Azóta nem lehet őket megvesztegetni. (Mondjuk ezt itt is be lehetne vezetni...) Ezt mind beszélgettük. Ilyen nagy volt a dugó! Este még elsétáltunk az óceánhoz, éppen apály volt.

... within the half-hour we were driving along a coastal road. I watched huge waves of the bluest blue hue crash against the beach, dark brown rocks, and little cliffs. The bus penciled in the border to the Atlantic Ocean as we made our way along the road dotted with palm, orange, and lemon trees, lemon-lime colored wildflowers, surfers and strollers to Cascais. It was so thrilling to be in a place where citrus ...

Porto is a quaint port city in northern Portugal and the country's second largest after Lisbon. But the real reason to visit is simple - it is the home of port wine. And so we quickly took in the very picturesque city before crossing the bridge over to the south bank lined with Port caves. One blatantly self-promoting winery tour later ...

... Qui Pereira trascorre una settimana in terapia e conosce il medico che gli offrirŕ il suo aiuto. Il lungomare č grazioso, mi viene voglia di fermarmi a mangiare qualcosa su uno dei ristoranti di fronte alla spiaggia, resisto. Superiamo Estoril senza fermarci ed arriviamo a Cascais. Prima sosta lunga a consumare la frutta. Cascais č gradevole, abbiamo il nostro primo incontro con i deliziosi pasteis de nata e con il caffč Nicola segnalatoci come ...
