Lisbon

Hello Portugal! After a rest at an airport hotel (30 hours flying and transit from Rio to Lisbon via Heathrow with delays in both steps) we visited Parque das Nacoes, built for the world expo in 1998, near the main metro station Oriente with the tiled walls, It has the longest bridge in Europe (another fine subset, actually only the 10th longest in the world) we could also see it from our 18th floor hotel room.
This afternoon we made our way, also with a major delay, to our accommodation, at a Alfama Terrace in the old town, an area very similar to Dubrovonik, and had a wander around the cobbled streets. The view from our terrace is of the Lisbon Pantheon, and nearer to sunset time we went up to Miradouro de Santa Luzia, a viewpoint that looks over Lisbon city, down to the cruise ship dock.Read more
