We arrived to our pre-arranged meeting location at 9:30. Our pre-arranged driver did not show up till 10! I guess the new baby made him late. Oh well. We were able to make it to Sintra with a minimum of traffic and we wandered about town for a while. On our way to he old town we saw many nice pieces of art. We found a place for tasty sweets and followed the signs uphill to the Sintra Palace. Once we reached a major road Leslie asked about the transfer tickets we already had and the police man said those were only good up on top and that we needed to take the bus. As he told us that, the bus arrived and we squeezed in.
Waitng for our ride at the Funicular
A train bridge just outside of town
Funky building
We have made it to Sintra
Great houses and gardens
Very old and very large chimneys
The city is built on the hillsides
A cute old red car. A premonition of a red car we will be riding in soon enough
The Moorish Castle on the hill top
Let us in!
Peeking through the trees
Wood dolphins
Stone
Metal chair with stone pillow
And Omar in the chair
A very fancy bus stop
Nude with hat
Mixing it all up
A lighthouse type room
Glorious use of tiles
Swallows live here
We have found the pastry shop
We stood outside and ate them while they were still warm
Up we go
This design was six feet by four feet
Mostly vertical to get up hill
