1st October 2019 Tour from Lisbon to Sitka and Pena Palace, International Palace, Cascais with Betsy and Gene Brody- Simply Amazing

We were picked up by Pauli our guide and departed Lisbon to travel some 49 miles up into the mountains to the palaces of Sitka where the Royals and nobility of what is now Portugal have lived and reigned for over 1200 years. This area has its own micro climate and this morning the places are shrouded in thick clouded and fog.

Whilst that is disappointing we do visit the Pena Palace which is simply stunning with the elaborate architecture, stunning decoration and breathtaking views over all ofLisbon.

We happened to beat the crowds, but even so there are queue and some jostling of people.
