Day 20 Sintra

Decided to take the train to Sintra an hour train ride from Lisbon.

While I was buying my train ticket, I bumped into Hannah, a girl I met on the Camino at least 2 weeks ago. It was great although I never saw her after that. She had her own agenda I guess.

Very crowded and very touristy at Sintra.

I lucked out by walking up the hill to the Moorish Castle. It was very steep at times but that was good as it decreased the number of others walking.....

I saw many families with children even babies at the top.

It was challenging for me in places for sure but I am so glad I went there.

Coming down was a challenge again I like the up but not the down. The road was a traffic jam of buses, and taxis waiting to move in the hot sun!!!

I loved walking through the forest there and back. I sat on a rock for a long time just taking in the different bird calls and enjoying the gardens🥰

Probably one of my best days ever♥️♥️♥️Read more
