Onwards, onwards .... from Salamanca, to Ponferrado with its great little castle, to Santiago with its magnificent cathedral, then into beautiful Portugal. Had 4 days on Porto - what a gorg place, with some great views down by the River, with restaurants, old buildings etc.
Onto Tomar, with an amazing 15th Century convent surrounded by a castle, then to Sintra, where I am now. Its about 1/2 hr from lisbon.
All going well, and have seen some amazing sights.
Loving Portugal - people here are friendlier and gentler, magnificent scenery, and a bit more English understood and spoken The bus drivers even smile here!!
Alas, rain has set in, and I think I am in the clouds, literally!!
