We first drove out of the city on the banks of the river Trejo which then turns into the ocean and we stopped at Cascais for a short while...
As you can see it is cloudy but not too cold..we walked around had a little breakfast...many of the sidewalks are so beautiful with these small pieces of stone laid individually...
Our next stop was called Hell’s mouth.....
Then it was to the most westerly point of Portugal....
Spectacular ocean views...
For the afternoon were in the quaint town of Sintra we had 90 minutes to walk around and explore the beautiful sights...
We returned to the van and then were driven to the Pena Palace where we had free entry into the grounds and explored for almost two hours..a very different almost Disney likability castle....
We arrived back at the drop off point at 6 pm so a good long interesting and happy day.
I went to the shop where I had hoped they had downloaded my Europe map into my GPS but they could not so really sorry to say when we pick up the car tomorrow will not the GPS to guide out of the city....I hope in the next two days I can find a place where I can attach my GPS to a computer and do the down load....
As I said we get the car tomorrow and head out for a week some places I have booked tomorrow night I have not so check in and if I have internet there will be a post!!!

Very worthwhile tour! The architecture, particularly Sintra, has a Moorish or Arabic flavor. So much so that I was looking for a Muslim prayer tower. Ha!
Great photos of Gracie and you!
Excellent pictures! Some car rental places can supply you with a GPS. I hope you manage to download the EU map yourself, it sure makes driving easier.
Yes we felt it had that flavour too...they wanted ten 💶 a day for the gps I just need a place to plug in my USB and I am good to go hopefully tomorrow it would help but we did ok today cheers les
