Once Henry was awake we drove half an hour up the road to a town called Obidos which was so beautiful. It was packed full of tourists and boiling hot but we enjoyed a couple of hours wandering around the narrow cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses decorated with beautiful tiles.
We found a lovely ancient little restaurant for lunch and had a break from the midday sun with a huge tuna salad, pizza and drinks. There were loads of horses and carts around which pleased the little horse lover and we set off for home in time for Henry's nap.
We actually had half an hour by the pool before nap time but it was so cloudy all along the coast today so it's probably just as well we went inland to Obidos.
After our nap we walked across to the beach for an hour and made sandcastles, dug holes and paddled in the sea. Because we'd been out for lunch we decided to have a quiet dinner at home which gave us an extra hour down at the beach which was lovely.
We came home and had showers and prepared dinner - leftover pasta for Henry and a baked Camembert with salad for us. So tasty! Afterwards we walked into town for a few sangrias and an ice cream as well as a little play in the park for Henry. He's loving our holiday so far, he's so adaptable, bless him, and he's happy to do anything. He's particularly loving his daily ice cream and afternoon siesta cuddling his mummy.
Tomorrow we are meeting friends in Lisbon for dinner which is exciting but before that we'll probably be having a lazy day, fingers crossed for sunshine.
