I've decided Portugal has the lousiest weather, ever. Even the UK had nicer weather when I was there!! All three times!
The weather has been both a pain and an attraction in itself today. I'm just finishing the sights in Sintra: the National Palace (nice, but full of annoying Portuguese teenagers), Pena Palace (gorgeous, but militant about their no photos rule - why double-staff a room to prevent photography? I don't get it), and the highlight for me, the Moorish castle ruins. This is going to date me, but it was exactly like the castle ruins where they had the sword fight at the top of the Cliffs of Insanity in the movie Princess Bride. I wonder if that's where they filmed it? LOL. Anyway, the castle and Pena Palace were both on top of this huge mountain, and the clouds/fog combined with the wind made for some fantastic pictures!! Very eerie, but way cool. Unfortunately I forgot my hat today and my hair is suffering the consequences, big time. Why didn't I buzz it before this trip again??
