Day 3 - Cas Cais
Finally our beach day had arrived! We settled our Eurail pass in the morning then headed out to Cas Cais. It is this compilation of small sea side towns with beautiful beaches about one hour by train from Lisbon. The first half df the day we napped on the larger of the beaches but when we awoke we were literally buried in sand and had sand pouring from our ears and mouth. Ha. Once we cleaned up and treated ourselves with some ice cream (speaking of - how do Europeans stay trim eating all of this ice cream?!) we walked the sea wall and discovered a little cove which was protected from the insane winds. It was an idyllic afternoon finished with some perusing of the town, French fries, beers and interesting live music. The last performer sounded like a laughable imitation of an injured animal while singing "Brown Eyed Girl". Unfortunately the day had to end and we returned to our hostel...which Brian said will be our last time ever stepping into a hostel. Haha. We're too old for hostels now I think. Now it's off to Spain!
