      Lissabon und Carola

      November 9, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Nach dem Praxistermin online, ein Tag Lissabon mit unserem Hahn im „Auto“ -Axel und die Mädels.

      Ein gaaaanz wichtiger Tip für alle Hundebesitzer, sowohl in der Tram 28 als auch in allen Bussen, sind Hunde nicht erlaubt! Auch in Restaurants oder Bars lassen Hund nicht mit hinein. Also draußen sitzen oder verhungern bzw. verdursten wenn Ihr Eure Hunde dabei habt!

      Wir haben das mit der Bahn so gelöst, Sandra und Carola sind mit der Tram gefahren, Sandy und ich haben das Auto genommen!

      Arrived In Lisbon!

      March 17 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Arrived in Lisbon at 8:30 am local time. I took a bus from the airport to the end of ir's line, and then walked the rest of the way to the water front area. I took in some of the sites, waiting for the 2:00 checkin time at my hostel. I also found the Se Cathederal which is the starting point of the camino, and obtained my pilgrim's credencial and first stamp there. Time for a quick shower and a nap!Read more

      What else to do here?

      May 16, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Lisbon is a huge city obviously, the touristic part being mainly in the center old town. We could afford a few hours so we took one of the historic tramways and walked about.

      Very busy traffic the day. Do not attempt to drive here during the day unless you’re an experienced and confident driver and you do not have a large vehicle.

      In Lisbon you will appreciate the two Brazilian engineers, José Braz Araripe and Fernando Lehly Lemos who invented the automatic gearbox in 1932 and made discovering this city by car so much easier! 😂

      The condition of the pavement in the city centre is really bad. I mean, by modern standards. I don’t think there is a single public street in Tallinn so poorly maintained.

      The streets can be very steep, narrow and twisty, often parked on both sides.
      Better park your car underground (where you can pay with card at the cashier - usually not at the machines) and traverse the city by our Estonian unicorn 🦄 Bolt. You have a selection of scooters and electric bikes.

      Lisbon, Portugal

      Day 3- Lisbon, Portugal

      Today, Lisbon in a day. Arranging ahead of time for a tuk-tuk tour, an easy day, we just had to get on the train by 10. This proved to be a challenge, however, as the ticket seller never showed and the machines were sold out. Finally, Thom convinced the janitor to allow the small gathering mob to get on the train. We patted us ourselves on the back for saving 10 euro until we realized in Lisbon that you can’t leave without a ticket. Thom attempted to break out and got stuck in a turnstile. We were pretty sure this is a way to trap all the zombies during an apocalypse, until we pleaded our case, mainly with hand motions, to a security guard (just hoping to get back to his break) who took out the magic key and let us out!

      Meeting up with Claudio, our guide for the day, we boarded our tuk tuk to be entertained for the next 5 hours. Lisbon, we learned, is the second oldest capital city in Europe (the oldest-Athens). Celts were the first inhabitants, but Lisbon was settled by the Phoencians, then Moors, followed by the Romans and eventually the Christians. Obviously a world power in the late 1400-1500s, Portugal was responsible for many expidetions around the world. The influence of all these cultures melded into this spectacular colorful city. Clearly in love with his city and culture, we enjoyed our visit as Claudio enthusiasticly shared his knowledge of the city and Portuguese traditions. I throughly enjoyed partaking in the cherry liquor in chocolate cups, the cod puffs, the sangria and most of the charcuterie board. Except that stinky cheese, gag, it’s just how I imagine foot fungus would taste. Flying up and down the 7 hills and winding streets, I did not envy the suckers hoofing up on their own. The best part of the day—I think our guide even liked taking pictures of us more than even me! Finally someone else yelling “one, two, three look at me!” After an uneventful trip home and tasty authentic Portuguese meal, we headed back to our cozy quarters for the night and went to bed happy with a UC win!
