Sintra - Day 17 - Thursday

Should've posted yesterday when we got here to Sintra, but we were road weary and we may have had too many glasses of wine at dinner - MAY HAVE. I mean look at how full they fill your glass...


Here's our adorable hotel with view. Yes - pink and yellow stripes!


Today we visited 4 palaces/castles/mansions/fancy houses
First Pena Palace built in a time we can all relate to by King Ferdinand. Here he is...


And here it is up close...



And far away...

Then we saw a Moors castle (Seinfeld fans might refer to them as the Moops - we did!).


Third was the National Palace which is still sometimes used as a palace.

The king must've been a real gourmet because those two Madonna bra like cones are over the kitchen...


And then we went to a Noblemans fancy house designed by an Italian opera set designer...


Sintra is adorable - Tomorrow we move to Porto!
