Today we traveled from Santiago de Compestella to Fatima. We crossed the border into Portugal and the first stop was Viana do Castelo. This was the most amazing church on top of a hill. It looked out over the coast and the view was sensational. Next stop was Braga where we had lunch - (Plate of the day 5 euros, fish, salad and potatoes - a coke 1.60 and a beer 1.70????) cheap food great quality. Braga was the most beautiful city. We visited the Bom Jesus which was a beautiful Church on top of a hill with a magnificent staircase at the front.
It has been a very long bus ride but glad to be here at Fatima. We celebrated the occasion with a beautiful candle light ceremony in the chapel.
Belated birthday wishes Chris, we didn't realise it was yesterday. The blog is fabulous, just didn't realise the places you would be travelling through by reading the itinerary, feel we are travelling with you and race to the computer each day to get an update!
