This is Mitch saying that Portugal was great!!! I have loads of good memories from that historical country. I knew that the holiday was going to be excellent as soon as I stepped on that land. The funniest thing that I saw there was either Jackson getting soaked by a huge wave when he was in his day clothes or a man balancing a chihuahua on his accordion and singing with it and with all that he was also standing up in a fairly fast train!!!

If I was writing an advertising leaflet for Portugal the first thing I would write would on the it would be 'Come and see Portugal for it's history enriched beautiful landscape.' I realised what a beautiful landscape Portugal had when Dad got us onto a train that would mean being on it for 8 hours there and back. But we got to see Fatima so that's all right. Every time you turn a corner in Lisbon (Capital of Portugal) it's a whole new adventure. For example Christo Rei which is a GIGANTIC Jesus it is about 28m high but is standing on a 75m structure. Everything was simply amazing.

Love from Mitch
