Cliffs, castles and cakes

Fernanda's computer wouldn't let me do any blogging lately, so I couldn't keep you up to date. Sorry!
I had a lovely time these days, doing mountain climbing on verrrry high cliffs (no, I did not fall down on my way to the Aguda beach), walking up and down narrow streets in Sintra (crowded by tourists, alas), up-up-up again in Pena Park to the Cruz Alta (more than 500 m) to enjoy the most fantastic view over the coasts south to Sesimbra and north to Magoito and on.
I didn't like visiting the castles that much, so I was lucky to find Pena castle closed on mondays. It's high up on a wooded mountain above Sintra and can be seen even from my small little attic room in Tojeira. And from all the other places around Sintra.
Sunday I took the bus along the coast to Cascais (tourists...) and stopped at Cabo da Roca, the western most place of the European peninsula. Spectacular!
Now I was at the southern most place near Gibraltar in April, this here was the western most place, North Cape will be visited end of July on my trip around the Baltic (only decided upon last week), now there's only the eastern most place missing. Siberia. Hmmm....
What else in Portugal? Oh yes, of course: Coffee and cakes! Lots of cakes! Marvellous, delicious cakes!
Every second shop in Portugal is a cafe, and they're all full of people enjoying a little break, a talk with neighbours and friends, a coffee and home made pastry.
And I wanted to loose weight - aaaaarggghhhh!
