    This was everything anyone would desire in a dream and more. Has much suspense and dreamy grandeur and yet Romantique overtures. Perfect for me anyway. Would have loved a suspenseful, quiet journey through the towers and all of the waterfalls and finding even all the hidden gems. Loved all the history given, and the fun you both have together as you do these vlogs! You keep is so enjoyable as to have us feel as though we too are moving along with you and this time wonderful at times if you were lost, or if somehow you would make it out before dark, and the park did close! So much to see and all in just one place,
    Thanks Stephanie and Ollie! Just look forward to so much, to these vlogs! The castles are always the best, and the churches and the castles were kept up so nicely.

    Beautiful dress Stephanie! The stone work AND the wood work was stunning. So were the wall paintings. But you're right, the gardens and all the stone towers and grottos were well worth the walk. Thanks so much for sharing this. Stephanie's story about her trip to Croatia and the land mines just cracked me up!! Beautiful music as well.

    As someone who is very claustrophobic, going down those stairs to the well and into the labyrinth would absolutely feel like descending through more than 9 circles of hell. LOL 😂 Thank you for doing it for me and letting me live vicariously through you.

    Lovely, playful exploration of the mist intriguing palace and its fantasy gardens, set to a perfect soundtrack and with some skilful filming techniques.
    The only thing is that I would not be surprised if that spiral well does not resurface in a nightmare !

    I was just there in April of this year and at that same Palace. and spent time in both initiation wells. It is such a beautiful unique place, Sintra, with so much deep history. and the Quinta de Regalaria is a stunning Palace
    It is a Knights of the Templar Initiation well. There is a difference, I have been studying the history. The initiation included the Knights going in one by one, blindfolded with their sword across their heart, descending into the 9 levels and if they found their way out where the stepping stones are they would across them symbolizing Christ walking on water and their initiation would be complete and considered a success. I experienced an incredible initiation in the second well, it was said they used that one more often than the one with the Knights of Templar cross

Ollie’s facial expressions, his body language from the climbs, his hat, Stephanie’s expressions,such fun. What a palace and gardens! I have to say the place was rather heavy and oppressive inside with all that wood. With what is going on right now, this was such a whimsical break. Thank you both so much for that🥰💕

    This is spectacular. Very eerie in 'The well'. I am absolutely 'Gob Smacked" The splendor of the architecture and luxuriousness of the castle etc. Yet at that time very basic hygiene and medicine to say the least always baffles me. Steph you certainly got your waddle on, poor Ollie must have been exhausted. But I am thinking you would not have missed this for the world. How can you beat this vlog on your travels. Xx

    Love the comment: NOT DANISH - so true. Although if you look at the Castles of Denmark they too are very decorative inside. I dare you to visit Rosenborg Slot for instance, it's a Bijou castle and very pretty indeed. Of course there are other castles too like Frederiksborg slot, Kronborg Slot, Christiansborg Slot, Egeskov Slot, Fredensborg Slot and naturally Amalienborg Slot. Will you take up the challenge? 😘😊
