Lisbon from Castle to Cathedral
On Wednesday, my second day in Lisbon, after giving up on getting my luggage anytime that morning, I decided to go ahead and get started on the serious business of being a tourist. The weather was perfect and it would have been a crime to waste it sitting around the hostel hoping my luggage would magically appear.
Escape to Toledo
Time to escape the hustle and bustle of Madrid on start doing day trips outside of the city. My first foray into the countryside was a trip to Toledo. It took me a while to figure out what train to take and how to get the correct ticket to go with my Eurail pass but eventually I was on my way.
Day trip off to see Grenoble today.
Another day trip for today since Varsailles isn't very far from Paris.
Palace Excursions
While I was staying in Paris I took day trips to the palaces at Fontainebleu and Versailles. I was glad that I went to Fontainebleu first since it is the older of the two palaces. It was kind of a cloudy Sunday afternoon when I went to Fontainebleu but I was lucky and only had a few brief drizzles until I was safely on the train back to Paris. At that point I kind of enjoyed watching the rain come down outside the train window.
