The previous evening we discovered that wifi facilitiy was available at McDonalds. After packing up and saying our goodbyes to our hosts we headed for it, to make sure that we were updated with our messages.

Initially we then headed for Leira but ended in Fatima instead where we had a lot of attention given to Tuah. We took time to entertain our curious onlookers mostly pilgrims explaining to them about the expedition and Malaysia.

Our intention was to visit Parque Jurassic the next day and as we couldn’t find a campsite we decided to spend the night in a hotel in Fatima. Well €40.00 inclusive of breakfast was not too extravagant we thought. We took the opportunity to see the Sanctuary and Adrain did some shopping, a €1.00 harmonica.

We had an early night with the question, are shadows longer in Fatima, in our mind.
