A night at the opera
March 24, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Today we walked the streets of Lisbon, finding some caches, climbing hills, and negotiating the slippery slopes of the funicular paths (it drizzled for a while this morning).

We had no particular plan, but did stop for morning tea tarts, lunch, afternoon tea donuts... then squeezed dinner in before a visit to the opera... and finished with late night coffee and cakes. Thankfully Lisbon has plenty of hills to walk off all the food!

The buskers in the street outside our hotel are still going strong at 11.30pm to lullaby us off to sleep...Read more

Daniel Williams Does the tram just go up and down that one hill? Or does it continue at different angles?

John KalaitzisI'm thinking that unless that valance on the left is retractable it will scrape the deck on the level?

Darren and Janetjust up and down one hill - there's 3 funiculars in the city, to save walking up and down some of the steepest hills. But they won't save you money, they're 3.80 euro per trip (about 2 minutes)
