27hours to Lisbon - out & about

Pete dropped us off at the airport and it was a smooth check in and bag drop.
We met Mum and Amr who were already at the AMEX lounge and joined us for a celebratory champers to start the trip, while Jess and Ted had some dinner. Sadly, we just missed Paul and Tallie who got held up at check in and immigration with bad luck.
First flight was over 14 hours to Dubai. After dinner and wine was served, we all slept relatively well. It was an easy flight connection in Dubai, the next flight around 8 hours to Lisbon. The flight felt longer as we didn’t really sleep much. We arrived into Lisbon and got a taxi to our Airbnb. Jess showered, the rest of us were eager for a walk before we did. Had a lovely walk getting our bearings walking to Comercio Square then wandering the gorgeous cobbled streets admiring plazas and streets. Busy for a Sunday arvo. We are back for a chill before dinner. We then wandered back to a restaurant we had discovered on our walk. All a bit tired and unsure of its exact location, then we found it. We enjoyed simple and easy choice of Portuguese or Italian food. Now back at the apartment via a special Portuguese tart patisserie. We are enjoying the sunset with a nightcap. We are all so ready to crash!Read more
