Lisbon day 2

Today was my second and last day in Lisbon. I really didn’t get to see a lot of it. I arrived yesterday and wandered around a bit, but then I spent hours trying to get my Europe eSIM card purchased, installed, and figured out.
I’m starting on the trail tomorrow morning, and I’m looking forward to it. I’m learning that it’s not nearly as established as the Camino Frances because there’s so many fewer Pilgrims, so I will see how it goes. I believe I’m ready both mentally and physically. I visited the Camino office today and got a lot of information and my questions answered which felt really good and put me in a state of mind, ready to go. And physically I’m also ready….. especially after last night!! I had a good sleep after hardly any for the last week before leaving home. Then I woke up and, looked at my watch and freaked! I was horrified to see it was 11:47 AM. I have never slept that late since I was a teenager. Some people would think it’s a dream. Not me. I was almost traumatized. So I flew out of bed, and I had things organized, got dressed, make-up on, and I was out the door within an hour. The silver lining is that I caught up on rest and ready to walk.
Later this afternoon, I took the full tour of the Lisbon Cathedral and lit a few candles. The tour included a portion of the cathedral which was like a museum and had religious artefacts dating back to 1300 and earlier. Interesting.
So tomorrow, my first day on the trail, will only be about 10 km. I’m told there are very few arrows and what there is are very difficult to see, so I will have to put more trust in a map for many kilometres. “Just keep the river on your right” lol. It’s several blocks from my room to the main Cathedral, which is where I will “officially” start the Camino. It’s where the first yellow sign is.Okumaya devam et
