Day Five - Day of the Castles
I call this the "Day of the Castles" -- we toured three different ones with a guided tour through the "Mad Man's Castle". The history and lore made everything about the castle come to life ! We started the day with the carriage ride through the beautiful city of Sintra. The restored homes were gorgeous -- In my next life, I want to do a restoration of an old home -- The Toy Museum was fascinating -- where, if ever, will one ever see such a huge collection of any and every kind of toy one could imagine ?? I walked the paths of the Moorish Castle with Suze, Lennie, Micheal, Andrea and Tammy -- didn't make it to the top, but, I am enjoying the view through the photos !! Lunch and off to the guided tour of Mad Man's Castle and Pena Palace. We had a good laugh about the "crab paws" at the Brazilian Restaurant that evening !!
