Journey to Queluz


On the way down to the next pousada not far north of Lisbon we stopped at the old university town of Coimbra (bottom picture) and at Obidos where we saw these oranges. Coimbra was very steep and involved some unnecessary steps to get in to the historic baroque library (we found out later we could have gone in directly without all those steps!).

Our only sighting, so far, of storks was near Coimbra where around 10-12 were spotted. We saw 2 storks nests. Although I have been looking for bee-eaters, none seen.

Obidos was pretty but clearly a tourist trap.
