• Day 14 - To Alcobaca, Batalha & Tomar

    15 settembre 2025, Portogallo ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Off to Alcobaca and Batalha today to see 2 reportedly beautiful and amazing cathedrals. I took the bus, and while waiting for it I met a couple from Ottawa who promptly warned me that they had picked up a bad case of bedbugs between Porto and Santiago 😳
    The first 9 pictures are from the Alcobaca Cathedral; I thought it was beautiful.
    The remaining ones were taken at Batahla which was mind-boggling. Building started in 1386 and completed in 1517, Gothic style.
    Today was a day of Cathedrals and buses and 25°. Oh yeah, and lost once plus a taxi ride (lousy bus driver dropped me off at the wrong town 😡), and a near miss of bus connection back to Tomar.
