Monsaraz - Sat

Sat 2nd Aug 2014
Great sleep and woke to magnificent views and backdrop. Both had showers in Priscilla which is a long time since we've had to. Walked up into the walled town again and glad I took photos yesterday as very overcast today. First went in the museum but unfortunately was all in Portuguese but it had a slide show that we could follow with wonderful old and present day photos. There was a book for sale on there that had a connection with Monsaraz and Melbourne but the lady couldn't help us as to why? We then went into the church and again no photos allowed - shame as it was very special. We lit candles for all our family members. Wandered around the village then headed back to Priscilla for lunch. We have decided to eat in the village tonight to plough some money into it as we haven't spent anything yet as everything is free!!! Really do not know how they keep it so well looked after and preserved? Had a lazy afternoon reading our books and admiring the views while watching a few more motorhomes arrive. We are parked under almond  trees so we crack a few. Had a walk around the outside of the walled village then found a restaurant with a terrace to watch the sun go down and enjoy a lovely meal. Had a bottle of the local wine and it was Very good.
