We have for several years dreamt of sailing from Norway to the Caribbean. We are now on our way in our little ship "Bonanza", and we'll keep you updated on this page.

lisboa - cascais



After some days in the Alcantara marina in Lisboa we started to realize that all other norwegian boats were out in a place just outside Lisboa named Cascais. As we had visitors from Norway and Germany we decided that a trip with the boat was a good idea.

The day after it was time to become tourists and do things such people normally do. We went to the village of Sintra where there are many castles and lots of opertunities to blend with the japanese and german people with cameras.

As we had gotten a tip off the castle on the picture above we decided to go up to it. Like the norwegians we are, we like to walk. almost up there Jon decided to ask a policewoman for directions to the castle. She sent us back down the road and told us that we had gone wrong. So we searched and finally found someone who had walked down through the forrests from the castle. They didn´t tell us how far it was... Short story: we came to the castle just before it closed and decided that we didn´t bother to pay 6€ for an hr in the castle and went back down to the village with buss. It drove just past where we turned after asking the policewoman.



The Norwegian shortcut up to the castle...
We are now finished with stuff like that and are prepairing for the next leg of our journey.
