Traveler Didn't sleep well. Maybe an hour. Walked around Lisbon for 13k steps for 4 hours sightseeing. On train halfway to Porto. Arriving at 7:30 drop packs then out for a nice meal. Then home for a shower, rinse clothes, and a long sleep. Slow rise tomorrow and wander the markets.

Traveler Must be part of the Spanish culture - I've seen the same thing in Central American countries & Colombia. Waaayyy too much noise for me...

The walk out of Lisbon is now mostly on a boardwalk beside the Tejo River.
It was a pleasant warm day, and I put my umbrella to good useRead more
Laurie Reynolds What did you think of the boardwalk walk? Oh, I guess you probably already had walked on it last year. I think it’s a much better choice than down that old canal with all the garbage, but I thought it was hard on my feet.
Glad to hear the boardwalk along the coast is now complete. The path north out of Lisbon was too much like the route out of Leon. Did you walk out of Lisbon along the Tagus or take the metro to Cascais? When I was living in Estoril, I saw some shells along the sidewalks but I never met a pilgrim over the 16 months that I lived there. [Donald]
