A few days in Portugal


Geoff and I had a few days away over the Easter holidays, ostensibly as a 25th anniversary marker (plus, I like to go places and Easter is when I can). We spent most of it in Lisbon, with a day out to Sintra.  Sights included the Belem Tower, 


about a hundred million sets of steps like the one above (mostly up, which seems unlikely, but that's how it feels when you are there), 


the 25th April bridge, 



the Jeronimos monestary, 


the 25th April bridge again, at night, from a bar at the top of a multi-storey car park, 


the tile museum (very good, worth the trek out from the centre of Lisbon), 


which is housed in an old convent, 


the Pantheon, 


and on the day out to Sintra (these photos taken BEFORE the pouring rain), the Moorish castle 


and Palace de Pena.


All in all, lots of good things to see and do.
