Day 4 Sintra tour

 Bruno met us at 8.30am to take us west to Sinra, the summer palaces of the kings. Sintra is much cooler than Lisbon due to being closer to the Atlantic  Ocean. In summer, Lisbon can hit 40, Sintra's max temp was recorded last summer at 28.

Sintra was way busier than the last time we were there. We went to the Palace where the grounds are based on Dante's inferno (the name escapes me). last time wer were there, there was no one. This time, line up for 20 minutes...crazy.

Bruno guided us through there, then on to the dramatic coast. We went to the most western point of Europe, next land would be by New York. It was really windy, with a cold wind off the Atlantic. The surf was cool. Then on to a restaurant for lunch that you picked your fish ....how fresh is that? wonderful lunch, again so much food that our supper was in the hotel garden with wine, cheese, crackers and chips.

Tomorrow, a bus ride to Evora to start working (cycling) off all the food we ate.

 hey so nothing has been posted. we were really jet lagged at the beginning. And now Jim has COVID, so he is not up to posting. I will let you know where we are, but I am not the writer that Jim is...so, here it goes... We left Edmonton on Tuesday afternoon. It was cold enough that they had to do a small deicing of the wings. I remarked to Jim. this is the last of the cold weather I want to see!!! Our flight to Vancouver was uneventful. Our luggage was checked through to Amsterdam, so when we landed in Vancouver the only thing we had to do was make our way over  to the international terminal. We were allowed in the KLM lounge in Vancouver, had some really good food there. Wonton soup, noodles. Soon we had to leave for the gate. The flight was great. we ended up fling over Edmonton airspace to go the northern arc toa Amsterdam.  In Amsterdam, we decided to take the bus so we would be comfortable on the bus system for our return when we took the bus to Haarlem. The people a...

From Haarlem to Dordrecht

Image
 Three days of riding - 1) from Haarlem to Leiden; 2) from Leiden to Gouda and 3) from Gouda to Dordrecht.  We set out on Sunday morning and went west to the coast of the Netherlands.  I'm personally falling in love with the Netherlands simply because I am in awe of their transportation systems; road networks; bike paths.  The buses are frequently on dedicated roads and lanes which means that they move from location to location quickly and efficiently.  One one of our bus rides the bus stopped and announcements in dutch and english informed us that the bus would pause for two minutes because it was ahead of schedule.  We've now ridden about 150 kilometers - none of those were on roads of any particular significance.  That is not to say they are irrelevant - for the few residents and cars that travel along them, they definitely are not - and for us cyclists they provide excellent ways of getting around.  Much of our riding has been on dedicated cyc...

Amsterdam to Lisbon, Day 2

 Sandy again. We had jet lag. Fell asleep at 8 pm. Awake at 3 am. In the morning, we did not know what to do with ourselves. We discovered, to go to most museums, we have to prebuy the tickets and make an appointment. So jim make appointments for the Ryjks and the Van Gogh when we get back to from Portugal. What to do today? I looked at the map (while we were having a breakfast of Dutch Pancakes) and saw there is a "Jewish Quarter" about 3 km away and several museums there. We purchased tickets to the " Resistance " museum. By the time we walked there, did the museum then picked up our luggage to bus back to the airport.      Off we went. The resistance museum was great - heavy but very insightful. Full of portraits and stories of people during the war - deciding whether to go along with the Nazi's or form a resistance. The Dutch had no idea how long the war would last,,,,and the Nazi rules were slow and insidious. Hard to explain in this post, but no one h...
