Lisbon - Sticky Fingers

May day holiday! We got caught out (again). We had planned to go to Sintra today but all the castles we wanted to see were up hills and spread far and wide, so we would have needed a tour to view. Instead we headed into Lisbon and wandered around the city and Port area, and found new patisseries, we tasted a new pastel from Evora, where we are going tomorrow, a cheesecake type pastel made from sheep's cheese with a very citrusy flavour.
Great views and atmosphere here (Pasteis de Belem, where we were yesterday, churns out an average of 30,000 pasteis de nata daily). The ones we had in Baxia weren't a patch on those Belem ones.
We then headed out to the Tile Museum.....surprise it was shut!
Then to the Pantheon, above our accommodation-surprise it was also shut !
We put our feet up for the evening in preparation for a full on day at Evora tomorrow.Read more
