Pastéis de Belém

So many sights, so many photos, so hard to choose...

Went to Belém today on a purple tuk-tuk - all 7 of us for 25 euros with a wonderful woman driver, to eat these famous custard-cream tartlets, in the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém, who have been making them since 1837, and turn out 15,000 a day. They are warm, dusted with cinnamon, and truly heavenly - the original (and still secret) recipe came from the monks next door.

We used to get a taxi here on our way to Brazil and buy a box of these to have for breakfast the next morning in Natal.

(Made an error Monday, thinking the bridge in my aerial photo was the Vasco de Gama bridge, but it was in fact, the 25 de abril bridge, so have amended the blip.)
