Sick — Sick

There was a higher viewpoint at Eira do Serrado but, unfortunately, we had been feeling sick for a couple of days. Climbing up stairs to get to the next level would usually be something we would power through on a vacation like this but between the cold temps and the coughing and wheezing, we had seen enough of the view for the day.
