Mornings are special.


And it’s a bit weird – we seem to be the only people in the entire compound – it’s soooo quiet.
Anyway, the heatwave means a gentle rhythm of morning sightseeing, lunch, swim and/or siesta and maybe out in the evening. Not exactly a stressful existence!
Tomar is nice enough as a small town.


Then went to suss out the 15th Century aqueduct for the Convent – amazing and nobody there.



Eileen was joined by a friend in the afternoon

Evening in Constancia about 15 minutes away. These Knights got everywhere, including this strategically placed castle in the river



Dinner (beef with kiwi, melon and orange, since you ask. No idea if it’s a Portuguese tradition or budding Masterchef but very good!).
