Day 232  Mar 24  2015  Estoril Portugal


We left Salamanca Spain in the morning and stopped at a few places on the way when we saw something that looked interesting.  The closer we got to Lisbon the hotter the temperature got.  When we started driving in the morning the temperature was at 1 deg C., when we got to Lisbon the temperature was at 16 deg C.  I think we can stop driving south now and start doing the tourist thing and enjoy Europe.  We stopped in Elvas Portugal for a few hours to tour a Castle that was initially constructed sometime before 1166 ad.  There was also the remains of an impressive 7790 meter long aqueduct that was inaugurated in 1692.
