The thought of getting on, off different trains sounds stressful. Redo-express seems like a no brained where you can simply people watch and sightsee without having to schlep your luggage.

I am so happy you got to experience the Pergola. Did you meet Concalao, Joseph and Maryanne? Those breakfasts are to die for. Having stayed there 6 times, I am happy knowing you got to expect what what we considered the best B n B in Portugal.

I too, have taken pictures of Pergola through the gate (it's just so beautiful)! It's so nice to have an "inside" peak :)

Thank you for taking us along, I very much enjoyed it. Maybe you could entice Denise to occasionally take a photo of you taking one of these wonderful photos. Kind of a behind the scenes snapshot!

Took a recent Rede Express ( express my ass!) bus from Sete Rios to Lagos. 5 1/2 hours without a bathroom is not my idea of making the planet a better place to live, given the risks of homicidal ideations and permanently staining the seats. The maybe slower but utilizes both modern plumbing and offers libations. A slam dunk IMHO. Love your writing; keep keeping it real.

Really enjoyed your thorough description of the various transportation options! You really do your homework and make life a lot easier for others who want to follow in your footsteps. One question: Are dogs allowed on public transportation? I hope you had a wonderful time in Cascais!
