This morning
was for relaxing over breakfast, repacking for flying, and being sure all items
were separated between us and our daughter. We are glad we did not have to make
time to visit the Castle and Monastery or we would have been rushed. We did
take a stroll through the ‘old town’ are again.
There is a charm about having a castle, even if it is a castle ruins,
overlooking your village/town. We have enjoyed the ‘old town’ parts of every
city we have visited. The narrow often
winding streets, the street lights, the shutters, the laundry hanging, the
flower pots, etc.
We had less
than a 2-hour drive to the Lisbon airport, passing many olive groves, returned
the car, and made our way to our flight gate.
We have seen
and experienced a lot in the past two weeks.
It has been great traveling and spending time with our daughter, but our
time together is now over. She is
returning to Abu Dhabi and we will spend the next 2 weeks visiting friends and traveling
in Holland.
We landed in
Amsterdam, picked up the rental car and drove the 7 minutes to the home of our
friend, arriving around 9:00 pm. As
always it is great being back in Holland. Our dear friend, our host, lost her
husband in January 2015, so we will miss him very much.
