Day trip to Lisbon on the train, we saw the trams and walked way up to visit the Castelo de St. Jorge. Lisbon was full of British in Celtic football shirts! There must have been a big match on. We looked around the shops and forced ourselves to sample some homemade chocolates.

If you ever come to Portugal you must visit Sintra. We went to the Regaleira Palace and Gardens and had a great day. The whole place is a rich man folly, lots of steps, castellated walls, turrets and underground tunnels. The higher you climb the better the views, no health and safety here like at home, so the children were free to discover it all. We only lost Chris in a tunnel once!

Katy is 30 today Happy Birthday!!
We are leaving Cascais after lunch today and doing a three day sail to Gibraltar. We have cleared out from here with customs so we can’t touch land until Gibraltar or we forfeit our VAT that we are claming back. Lizzie is nine tomorrow so will have a birthday at sea.

All sounds lovely!
Happy birthday Lizzie!
Lots of love from Liz, Stephen, Rosie & Will xxx
Well done for getting to Gibraltar! And now you must get ready to start a longer passage (I assume, to the Canaries). It has been interesting reading your Blog, and will be more so, with Mike and Brian on board! Well that's two more babysitters, cooks, cleaners, odd job men and watch keepers! Mike will take great pleasure unblocking the heads while at sea!
By the way, I couldn't help noticing that the dolphin in the film clip sounded exactly like Beth! Best wishes for a safe passage to your next and all future destinations, Pat!
