Portugal Itinerary and Photos Link

The more I think back to the group of guys I was traveling with, to the myriad of activities we did, to the friendly guides and people...the more I miss being on the trip!

The itinerary of the trip

1. São Miguel island in the Azores (os Açores)
   We stayed in a hotel in the capital Ponta Delgada, and then were whisked around in vans to the viewpoints around the island. You definitely have to drive to get to the overlooks.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Madeira island
   We stayed in the capital Funchal and were taken to the sites by van or jeep.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Porto
   This was the first stop on the mainland - I think a city I'd like to go back to and stay for a while to learn my way around. This stop included a day trip to Guimarães and Braga.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Nazaré
   This was a lunch stop and some time looking around the square and viewpoint.
   
   
   
5. Lisbon (Lisboa)
   Lovely city, and sadly our last location before we had to leave. The stay here included a day trip to Sintra with the Pena Palace and Cascais.
