Our honeymoon (part one) in Cascais...   Download times...
We spent a very relaxing week in Cascais, near Lisbon, after our wedding, and managed to do very little except eat, drink and lie in the sun. Perfect holiday, really. Thanks must go to Jo & James who arranged the wondeful hotel for us! I've finally got all the pictures together, so here are some of the better ones...   Please note that in order to present large, high-quality pictures, this page may take almost a minute to download completely. The first few pictures will be visible quickly, but please have patience with the rest!

Relaxing in the gardens at our hotel - the Residencial Solar Dom Carlos in Cascais, on a sunny afternoon. Life really not too bad at all...

When Vanessa said she had an itch to scratch, Dan thought his luck was in...

More sunbathing in our garden. We did quite a lot of this throughout the week, while Vanessa worked her way through the Harry Potter books.


Cascais seafront, Portugal.

Another picture of Vanessa, just for good measure...


The beach at Cascais.
The beach in Cascais, where we spent rather a lot of our time during the week as it was only about five minutes walk from our hotel. Towards the end of the week, though,  it became so hot that lying in the sun for more than a few minutes was out of the question. For a sun-worshipper like Vanessa, this is almost unheard of!
