Lourdes,yesterday

Lourdes is a pandemonium of Kitsch.

and it must have been such a lovely spring and cave, a quiet place calling to silence.

i lighted a candle for my friend and took some water with me as a present, even swallowed some without too

much belief in wonders.

to be honest, i think my insect bites are less itchy now...:-)

today , Mogadouro, way to Porto

from Vila Real i lost my way for one hour at least as i couldn't take the motorway with electronic toll:no prepaid card. you get easy  toll when you enter Portugal via a motorway. only, i didn't. so wanting to buy online a ticket i entered a wrong number and my Visa was stopped for secure payments. now i have to phone my bank in the morning. when one thing goes wrong it is like a law....
