the women set off for a 7.5 km walk near Marvao
photo taken looking into blind corner road mirror

ascending through cork trees and wildflowers

destination in sight at top of photo - a few 100m uphill

Marvao - the highpoint (in more ways than one) of the walk

a well deserved icecream

after finishing the loop walk we drove to Castelo de Vide
you can see Marvao (where we were) in the far distance on the hilltop

the lounge room at the hotel (former convent).
Every day we get delicious treats in our room - today sherry and chocolates

These photos come cortesy of Judy's PC which is not having the Wifi connectivity problems here that our little Asus PC is having.
