Sunday 30 Sept Onto Nazare , a very elegant looking large sea side resort famed for its fishing and surfing opportunities . I'd like to visit again if possible . It is hosting the World Surfing championships this year ( Oct- Feb) which starts tomorrow, so lots of surfer dudes in town ( and motorbikers by the score) We went upthe hill using the funicular ( eyes closed for me ) to the old city at the top (sitio) where women in Portuguese traditional dress sold artisanal clothing and pottery. On to the largest monastery in Portugal , built by the Cistercians in 12 th century in an attractive city a few miles inland called Alcobaca , suitably impressed by the size and simplicity of the Monastery , it has a Romeo and Juliet theme as it houses the tombs of King Pedro and his wife Ines, who was murdered by Pedro's father Afonso IV . Pedro ordered the tombs as evidence of his undying love for Ines . Very tired by now Found a place to wild camp overnight overlooking the beach at Praia da Polveira where Andy did some noble litter picking A very peaceful spot , sea fog bringing the temperature right now at night, a welcome relief .
