Well, it’s only proper to rename ourselves at this point.
We’re in a castle in Obidos, spending the night in modern medieval luxury. It only took an hour of driving around the walls to figure out how to get in here. Now I understand why these fortresses were hard to penetrate in ye olde days. We couldn’t do it with gps or directions in broken English! Smartly, we parked outside the walls at a set of steps and hiked in with our backpacks. Truly, it was the way to go, complimented by Alberto, our hotelier, who was lugging other people’s luggage up the stone staircases.
I did some driving today, noting the lack of traffic on the six-lane “interstate.” 30 kilometers and I only passed four cars, doing the 120 speed limit. No one passed me in our three lanes. It’s probably good I’m on the roads in a pandemic off-season!
It’s too dark to snap a photo of the incredible walls and castle. So I bid you, “Gentle night,” loyal subjects.
If someone is going to travel, it certainly should be you, so that at least we might all enjoy it with you, through your beautiful descriptive writing. 🥰 Love your adventures!
