Today’s activity was booked through Viator to visit the world heritage town of Sintra, Pena Palace, Cascais (pronounced cashcayish) which is like the Portugese riviera, and Coba da Roca which is the western most point of Europe. What a cool day. It started out thick with fog as our guide Andre picked us up from Lisbon and we headed to Sintra. Andre is 30 and has lived all his life in Lisbon, worked as a guide for 3 years and before that he spent seven years with the military as a paratrooper and heavy artillery specialist. I reckon he tested all his army training today wrangling 9 women to be on time 🙂 but he did it all with a big smile. Awesome day. Love Portugal. Tomorrow I’m heading to the Algarve for a few days by the beach and exploring the southern coast. Cheap cheap hotel deals in the off season, and I am a beach person at heart so really looking forward to getting my feet in the sand and sleeping by the ocean.
