As Richard quite rightly said Sintra, the historic summer retreat f
or the Kings of Portugal, is a Unesco site and as we approached it I had a tremendous feeling of deja-vu which isn’t entirely surprising since Debbie and I had been here 7 yrs ago!!!!!!!! I wasn’t impressed then and I’m still not…..I’m sure it used to be special but it’s choked with traffic and tacky shops and it’s rundown and well just very overrated so we had lunch and headed back to Cascais for a nap as there is a band on to night in the main square…….party party party!!
Debbie flies home tomorrow and if the winds okay I’ll be off on Sunday to Sines, pronounced “Cinch”, the birthplace of Vasco de Gama.Finally on a menu today hidden amongst the desserts was “Slobber of Camel” we weren’t brave enough to order it so are none the wiser…….any suggestions?
