We’re currently in Sintra visiting the Moorish Castle.

I do not recommend this trip if only staying for a few days. The train to Sintra is about 45 minutes in which you need transportation to get to the Pena and Moorish castles. The bus took about an hour and when we reached the Pena Castle realized you need to purchase tickets to view. They only have so many tickets per time slot and we wouldn’t have been able to start the tour until 1700 (5:00 PM).

We decided to spend time at the Moorish castle which is only about 10 minutes walk from the Pena site. While very interesting to see and very beautiful in its own right, the entire process has eaten most of the day which could have been better spent.

Many lessons learned today….

@Giles tonights dinner in your honour. Old bait and tackle shop turned into a restaurant

[Giles]

Ask Izzie if it is tidier than my fishing room.....

(I think not)

[goosehd]

Just popped into the time out market and had a quick drink:

I might be buying one of these @Matt

@Giles No comparison…

[goosehd]

Once again, buying second dinner…kids

@goosehd goes without saying that you need a nice souvenir to complement your mementos from Gosport

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago I like your thinking…question is should I bring one or two bottles back as the selection is incredible.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd what‘s the customs limit? Also keep in mind that there‘s two of you, so twice the allowance

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago 1500ml per person

May just check the bag and do it…

[ARNC]

@goosehd definitely at least two packed in different bags to mitigate against unfortunate events during transit and the “if onlys” when you get home!

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC covering @goosehd's ass, are you some kind of lawyer?

[goosehd]

If it’s good enough for Anthony Bourdain…

…and yes, they were really good

[goosehd]

I’m in so much trouble…
