5/16 Tomar

Today was a rest day in Tomar. Beth was feeling better today. We went to visit the Convento de Cristo and Templar castle. These buildings were built from 1200 to 1500 . It is a massive labyrinth of rooms.

We actually caught up with Andy(UK/Austria) and also David and Mike (Ireland) as well. It is one of the nice things about traveling slowly.

Tomar is a pretty town with so much cobblestone. It feels good to just relax for a day. Hopefully Beth has improved enough to make it through the next 2 days as these will be the longest, steepest and most remote days that we will have on the Camino Portuguese.

Just as an side note, if you pull a string coming out of the wall in the shower, it does not operate a shower fan or light. It sets off the hotel alarm for that room.

  1. That is spectacular! Glad you’re feeling better, Beth. Since visiting your blog the all knowing Google algorithm is suggesting a Porto Tonico as a drink if I ever go to Portugal. Have one for me!
