Leaving the little medevial city of Obidos was as exciting as coming in.

Narrow ways!


Why you should never entirely rely on a GPS. It didn't have the highway we were driving on, so it freaked out as it thought we were driving cross-country for 40 miles or so.


We then arrived in Aviero...but once again we've hit a Portugeuse holiday, Labour Day (May Day), so it was absolutely crazy.


They describe Aviero as the Venice of Portugal, but it seemed more like Amsterdam.


I was tricked, Fanta does have Sucre de Maize or whatever corn syrup is in Portugese.

Pastelaria's, one of the best things about Portugal. Pastelaria = Delicious fresh pastries, and they are everywhere. To show how cheap Portugal is, you usually get two giant pastries and two espressos (good ones) for like 2 euro. In Paris I think we usually paid 5 euro for just one espresso.
