Hello happy bloggers...

We are back travelling western Europe this time. We started in Portugal 10 days ago .. landing into Lisbon. A few days exploring the old city and climbing up to the fortress on top of the hill overlooking the city. From there on to Sintra in the hills where the kings of old spent the hot summer days hunting and generally enjoying the spoils of Aztec gold that was being returned by explorers to the new world. From Sintra we headed north to Nazare on the coast for a few days of sun and surf.. not that either of us surf you understand.. but the waves were worthy of it. On to the hilltop town of Tolmar encircled by its wonderful wall and overlooked by a fortress. Wonderfull little place.. then to Coimbra with its beautiful churches and university. We are now in Porto and heading to Spain and Santiago de Compostella tomorrow. From there along the north coast of Spain to San Sebastian for another few days of sun and beaches. Will try and put some photos up too if not now then in the next few days.

Love to all.
Jacqui and Brian

Warm days
All those comments about sun and surf! We had a lovely time in the UK but although it was a good summer for them there were still the showers. However Yorkshire is a beautiful place. Lots of Love Anama
