By the time I got to Lisbon I had seen to many sights in
a very short time. So I avoided all museums. I took a cross-harbour ferry and
walked the streets. I took the modern new train to Sintra.
This is a lovely old town with a spectacular location and several palaces. It
is less than an hour west of Lisbon.

I walked down a narrow steep street to the tram route to
the coast. The tram seemed to have recently stopped but the photographic
opportunities were worth the walk.
 |
From there I took bus 403 to the eastern most point in
Europe and to Cascais. It was a short but fascinating trip.
The wild beach view is out a bus window just a few kilometres west of Cascais.
I returned to Cascais the next day to dip my feet in the ocean; but the weather
in Portugal was cool with showers.

| From Lisbon I took a long flight to New York. My trip was almost complete. |
