sort of doing the interesting Peninsular War-y stuff

[openidwouldwork]

Due to burning my feet looking at the horse-landing site, I could not do the fun stuff the next day...
Not this


nor this


...so I ended up driving around and taking photographs (and swearing at the battlefield guide I was using - I figure it really needs 3 people to do that properly: one with the guide, one with a map and one to actually drive)

On the road to Torres Vedras, an interesting roundabout


View of one of the ridges of the lines of Torres Vedras


Forte de San Vincente in Torres Vedras


Leftovers of the line


And I visited Pero Nego, where Wellington had his headquarters



From the town well


Possibly a way Wellington used to ride to Monte do Socorro to observe the lines

(swears at guide book some more)

Had not more time to do intersting things, that cow congress thing happened then... but I did take some pics in LischBOA, will post them too.
