Hi David,
Do you want to come on a day trip to Sintra on Saturday? It is a beautiful little town about 40 minutes from Lisbon by train. We can take the train from the central station at 9 o’clock. When we arrive, we can visit the National Palace in the morning. It is fascinating and full of information about the history of Portugal. In the afternoon, we can walk through the forest to the old castle — the views are incredible! Wear comfortable shoes because the paths are quite steep. Bring water and a light jacket too. Let me know if you want to come!
