Day 234  Mar 26  2015  Faro Portugal


We drove to the Quinta da Regaleria ( Regaleira Palace); however by the time we got there it was raining quite hard so we decided to skip it and begin our drive to Faro.  As we were driving we saw a highway sign advertising the Troia Roman Ruins.  We decided to make the 50 km trip to see them.  When we got to the site it was closed for the season so we walked the 2.4 km into the ruins only to discover that there was a fence around the site.  Evy and the kids played on the beach while I went to explore if I could find an easy way in.  Along the beach there was a very low gate that was easy to get over.  I took a few selfies of the ruins then rejoined everybody on the beach.   We then returned to the car and continued our drive towards Faro.  The walk was through a forest and was very enjoyable as there was nobody else around and the temperature was decent.
