Lisbon by Foot

Got to Lisbon yesterday at 3pm after leaving San Francisco at 3pm on Wednesday. 24 hours of travel and a wild cab ride to our hotel left us a bit spent. Once we got to the hotel we thought “let’s take a nap and then head to dinner “. Well guess what? Our nap lasted till 7 am 😂.

Took off this morning for a hike around Lisbon, and what a great city to walk. The mosaic tiled sidewalks are not easy on the feet but very impressive to look at. We made an unexpected stop and bought tickets to walk through the botanical gardens located in the middle of town which was a real highlight.

Lisbon has a feel of San Francisco. It sits on a bay with lots of tourists and even a replica of the Golden Gate bridge that spans the harbor. As the afternoon grew warmer, and we had logged about 8.6 miles, we headed back to the hotel to put our feet up. Tomorrow will probably be a Hop On-Hop Off bus tour day (heavy on the “On”, light on the “Off”) as there is so much more to see.Read more
