Flights of Fancy

There's a lot of hills, stairs, and basic ups in Portugal.  Lisbon is mostly hilly, Sintra is definitely hilly, Obidos is a hill, Coimbra is hilly, and even Evora is somewhat hilly.

So, according to Carol's Fitbit, here's the number of flights of stairs we climbed:

49    Lisbon day 1

34    Lisbon day 2

58    Wine tour

69    Cascais/Sintra

71    Sintra

88    Obidos

41    Nazare, Batalha, Coimbra

26    Coimbra

24    Cominbraga, Alcobaca, Evora

63    Evora

14    Megaliths/Return to Lisbon airport/US

That totals 537 flights of stairs.  Some were quite fancy, especially those in the palaces and cathedrals, and many were quite rough, especially the forts, city walls, and narrow streets.
