Sintra, portugal

Hi again.
Just trying to put some photos into a slide show that should come up on the blog, taking ages!!!! errrr.. well we are in sintra and arrived safely on the little tram. It was a really nice little ride up into the hills. We left praia das macas and some new found friends from israel who were out here to get some waves. They were hilarious, and we got along with them really well. very funny guys, we have been quoting them all day.. soo funny. When we got to sintra, what should have been a 10 min walk, turned into the walk from hell.. serious. haha
We took a wrong turn, and ended up walking so far, only to come to a dead end at tha bottom of a massive hill that we thought might bring us back down and into the town.. but it didnt, and we had to walk all the way back. Maddy was funny, she said "jay, i can't do it, i can't go back up that hill", so i had to carry my bag and drag hers too... while she glided up the hill... haha.
We found the hostel eventually, scared we may have lost our booking because we were 3 hours late.. woops. But everything was fine. Our room is awesome for $50 a night. we are on the top floor, with awesome internet, and a view that is amazing. We can see all the castles and all the cool stuff.. just awesome.
We also had an amazing dinner here at the hostel, with like 12 other people from the hostel, for only 8.50 euro each  we had a 3 course meal that was so yum... it was a fun night. everyone had a ball.
Tomorrow will be fun seeing all the sights around sintra!
Ciao
