Yesterday (Weds) we took the 40 minute trip by train to Cascais. Supposed to be slightly cooler there. Gorgeous beach and coastline along the way. Train packed. We should have left a bit earlier as we had to walk some way before finding a lounge. A bit costly to rent but no choice really. As it faces the Atlantic the water is pretty much freezing. So much colder than Malta in the med. Most were just standing in the water and not swimming. Like me.

Even the locals were sheltering.





We arrived back at 5pm. My brain had turned to mush in the superheated train. Just horrible. And way hotter inside than out as every time the door opened people rushed to get some fresh air.

Dinner that night was fine. A gorgeous tiny restaurant. With a gross family sitting next to us. Foghorn father telling out his brain fades. Teenage kids who ate like they've never seen food before ramming pieces of ham in their mouths and leaving strips hanging out. I then looked at mother and then realised she had the worst manners of all. Every mouthful she kept her mouth wide open and would talk. Revolting. And it was such a tiny restaurant that everyone but this family kept their voices lowered.
