May 14, 2015 - Stayed in today to catch up on this blog and do laundry.
May 15, 2015 - Went for a ride today to Guimaraes, Portugal and then on to Porto, Portugal. A delightful spring day in the 70 degree range.
May 16, 2015 - Drove south to the Lisbon area to the coastal town of Sintra. About a 4 hour drive through rolling hills and nice sunshine today. Have a hotel room on the 3rd floor on the ocean. Great view of the beach, and town, what little of it there is, and the hotels giant swimming pool which is not yet filled for the season.
View from our balcony.
Went for a walk through town along the beach.
May 17, 2015 - Went for a ride to see the westernmost point in all of Europe and the scenery and lighthouse.
Proof of it being the westernmost point on the continent.
The beauty queen poses.
Next we went to a castle which in the 19th century was the summer residence of the royal family. Quite a place with a lot of land, great architecture, and great views.
The ornate carvings inside and outside are impressive.
Wood carvings on the ceilings.
Views of other palaces in the distance.
A small chapel on the palace grounds.
Natural waterfall.
Looking down into a very unique water well. There are stairs going down to the bottom and there are people standing down there in the picture.
Hercules getting ready to pull down the pillars.
Sleeping beauty getting ready for a nap on the side of the well.
Cocktail time on the balcony after a hard day of exploring.
May 18, 2015 - Went for ride to the huge town of Lisboa (Lisbon to us). Got a Harley t-shirt there and left town. Not much to see as it is just a big town. So we went to Cascais for lunch and a stroll through town. Very nice, clean town with lots of places to eat and shop along the beach. Great food!
A guy built this sand castle which also features the reclining guy peeing.
