Sketch posted as requested by someone. Totally inadequate webcam photo. I will buy a new camera when I reach Aveiro.

No sooner had I finished someone wanted to buy it. Then someone else asked if I could do the castle - commission for tomorrow. I got extremely lucky.

Turns out the restoration project in the village was completed just Two months ago with the inauguration of the hostel (left of sketch). The castle is genuine. Supposedly, or purportedly the best preserved and most beautiful in Portugal. I shall climb the hill tomorrow and check it out whilst sketching. So, surprise - I stay another night. Will spend on a bed and shower. My eyes and brains are starting to burn.

€50 for 2 hours work. €60 more tomorrow. I am cash comfortable again. I can check the forest and allotment for foraging when I descend the hill through the beautiful parkland tomorrow afternoon. Collect my cash and put in Four hours hiking towards Aveiro.
