We left our hostel at about 4:45 am so we could walk the 1km to the train station. I admit we were a little early but how could I know they don't open until 5:30? In any case here is my morning photo and a statue we passed.
The bus trip was rough.
At 3:30pm we finally made it to our destination - Sintra we also crossed a time zone!
The city is known as a fairy tale town and quite touristy but with good cause! The views are spectacular! And it all has historic value.
Of course most of the town is up stone covered street hills!
Though some of the artwork is a bit odd. The theme was very metamorphosis.
They also have a pizza hut. Quite good and it satisfied my American cuisine craving.
Our hostel - Moon hill is beautiful. We will be here two nights giving us all day tomorrow to explore the town. We will only have time to tour three of the castle and one garden.
Hooray for Pizza Hut!!! Better to be too early for the train/bus than too late. The photo with the statue is GREAT!!! You fit in with those "ladies" of the statue. LOL Good thing you've done all that walking. Now touring these cities and villages will be a piece of cake! Bring it on stone covered hills!!! Ant L
