Portugal

Flew down to Portugal for a few days to enjoy the sun. Unfortunately, our camera misplaced itself and the only photos we have are from the last day or two taken from a mobile phone. We spent time in Porto, where Port wine is made, excellent. Then stopped in the towns of Fatima and Coimbra. Eventually made it down to Lisbon where it was nice and warm.
