Go slow time in Lisbon

A nice day where we didn’t have to be anywhere at any particular time. We went to our fav breaky place mixing it up with what we ordered and a great way to start the day. Jess left us to go shopping and Mum, Amr, Ted and I walked to Lisbon cathedral. It was only a 15 min walk, however by 10am it was warming up. We climbed to the balcony and saw the view, the museum and where the choir sings from. It was an austere cathedral with a beautiful stained glass window and painted ceiling. Ted and I then wandered to do some shopping and left Mum and Amr. We all met up back at the apartment for a relax. I went and had my hair blow dried, which was a treat. We then ventured to ride the local antique trams which are used as a form of transport in the narrow streets. Ted and Jess were hungry so we stopped and grabbed a snack on the way. We then hopped on the tram to an unknown destination and enjoyed seeing other areas and sites of Lisbon. After 20 mins we ended up at the final stop and caught it back again to the plaza we started at. Amr had spotted a wine and tapas place so we decided to have a pre dinner snack and drink there. An interesting place with a great decor and knowledgeable waiter. Back to the apartment for some Rumikub and down time. It’s light later here and we are enjoying the warmer weather and the breeze. Had a wonderful final dinner appropriately at Brasileria. We watched and listened to fabulous buskers as we ate out dinner. Jess and Ted headed back to the apartment and Mum, Amr and I had a night cap at the wine and tapas bar to celebrate a wonderful trip to Lisbon.Read more
