    Our arrival in Lisbon

    October 5, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    From our hotel in Porto, we took an Uber to the train station. The train station was small but lots of trains coming and going. While Scott watched our eight bags, I tried to figure out where we were to go to board the train to Lisbon. The Portuguese people were very friendly and helpful, and I found a young gentleman who pointed out where we needed to go to board our train. It was a little walk, but with an elevator, we got to our spot in plenty of time. We were a bit concerned with all our luggage.
    After three and half hours, we arrived in Lisbon. We were thinking someone from our hotel would be there to greet us. But when that didn't happen, a taxi was close by.
    When we arrived at our hotel we were offered two glasses of port wine. A nice way to start our stay!
    Our hotel room was huge with a great view of the city. It worked out great to have our friends staying at the same hotel with us for several nights, and our room had plenty of space for us to sprawl out at the end of a day touring the city.
