Alcobaca

The library at Batalha didn't open until 2-30pm so we missed the chance for free WiFi, will be getting withdrawal symptoms soon! Rosemary had another English paper so she is OK, especially after seeing the RBS share price. An unevenful short hop took us to our last culture stop for now, the largest gothic church in Portugal at Alcobaca and very impresssive it was too. Attached monastry was more interesting than most, not too many cloisters and with with a choral recital in one of them. Managed to order a lunch time snack in Portugese and set off in the unrelenting heat to the coast. Decided to bypass Nazare and head for a small sheltered bay on a camp site we found in the Portugal sites book.
