Fed-up of driving, the vote was to cycle the coastal path, with a view to a swim at Guincho. A left-turn first took as through the cobbled beach towns, a mix of modern and old Portugal, past lovely urban beaches to Estoril. Turning, we retraced our cycle leaving Cascais behind to explore the national park, reaching the overlook point at Praia do Guincho. Stunning coastal sea views along the purpose-built cycle path littered with amazing cacti, golf courses, restaurants and villas; good job we had gears! Sadly wind, rain clouds and the threat of parking fines meant a panicked swift return! (Swim things sadly left untouched!)
Unlimited coffee and cake on the balcony swallowed the afternoon! That and a spot of handwashing; (misinformation regarding laundry facilities!) Book finished, we headed out to dinner. Our first lazy afternoon much appreciated by my chauffeur who’s reading style included snoring!
