Óbidos, a charming village

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

On to our second day in Portugal, still in Óbidos. Since we arrived at 6pm the night before and went  straight to the medieval festival, we spent the morning exploring Óbidos, looking forward to walking on top of the walls. The small town has flowers everywhere and so I took lots and lots of pics of those but I will spare the lot of you from those and only post them if someone wants to see them.

A trip to Medieval times in Óbidos

Friday, August 21st, 2009

I’ve been meaning to post pictures of our trip to Portigal since we got back (almost a month ago!) and I just thought the idea of a photo blog was the perfect way to share our week with all of you!

Day 1 - We flew into Lisbon through Paris and after a short taxi ride from the airport to Campo Grande (and a while to figure out where the exact bus stop was), took a bus to Óbidos. The ride was about an hour and we took the chance to take a brief nap, tired that we/I was after a very hellish week. This is the incredible view we had as we neared the town. We got in after 6 p.m. so just in time to head toward our b&b and then head over to the medieval fair.
