PASTRY FACE

Been out on private tour of Cabo de Roca, the westernmost spot on continental Europe, Cascais, the home of the rich in this area & Pena Palace in Sintra, a world heritage site. All very nice, blowy at the Cape, lovely in Cascais & very hilly at the palace. Very interesting & our guide, Alex was very knowledgeable but it was mandatory to call in at the cafes  to try the classic pastries that are very strong on egg yolks & sugar. So all in all we've had 4 pastries each today amounting to 10000 calories. Ah well, someone has to do it. Considering we were in touristy places, the prices were good, 4 Euros for 2 coffees & 2 cakes. After more food, tomorrow is a Wally tour.
