Lisbon, Estoril - Portugal - 2nd August 2006

Today we explore what remains of The Castlo de Sao Jorge. It nothing special but the views from the castle are excellent



Later we caught a train to Estoril / Cascais so Richard could go swimming. The weather here is wonderful. High 20s, not too hot, not a cloud in the sky.



While Richard was swimming I sat in the shade where a lovely African / Portuguese boy named Slyvester tried to pick me up. He was 22 and very cute. Richard had competition!!!! Unfortunately when Richard returned from his swim, the poor boy got embarassed and disappeared. Richard thinks I led Slyverster on because I did not tell him I was married. My defense was that it never came up in the conversation and I wear a wedding ring, isn't that enough?

Also had a look at the biggest Casino in Europe which is located at Estoril / Cascais.

In the evening we went to a park (don't have the name or pictures on hand, I will update later. Within the park we could see the world's longest bridge which is 14kms long.
