Lisbon, Monday

Last day in NYC yesterday the 1,5.23
Spent it at the MET.
Taxi to the airport was late and the traffic very heavy, but we got to Newark Airport in time; our 2045 flight departed late!
The United flight was only 6 hours, (over night). It’s rather nice to have 10 hours lopped out of the time. A
Tad weird though as we had the same routine on the plane except the ‘sleep’ was about 2 hours! Food truly disgusting! Munro luggage very late arriving, despite it being ‘priority’! Hotel Lisboa Plaza is nice, so we should enjoy the stay. (Eke promises that the breakfasts are amazing, the time runs from 0700 - 1200). We had a two hour sleep then a three hour walk around Lisbon with our guide. He was excellent, so we learnt heaps. Solar Bacalhau restaurant was chosen for dinner where SOME of us tried the salted cod in various forms! Very nice food. Great to get ‘real food’ after a week of variable results in NY. Great meeting up with Anton & Eke!Read more
