      Day 4

      Praca Luís de Camões Walkabout

      April 7 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

      The second half of our day we decided to take a slow, meandering walk through the city. It was a beautiful Sunday with perfect temperatures to eat and drink outdoors, people watch and take in all the sights and sounds of this amazing city. We weaved our way through out of the way streets and were amazed at all the architecture, street art and cafes tucked away off the beaten path. Lisbon has been a great introduction to Portugal. We are excited for more to come. 🇵🇹Read more

      Casa dos Bicos

      May 11, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Wir sind heute etwas abseits der großen Touristenströme gewandelt.
      Unser erstes Ziel war das Casa dos Bicos, das wir ganz für uns alleine hatten.
      Im Inneren des markanten Gebäudes befindet sich ein Stadtmuseum, das derzeit von der Stiftung des Literaturnobelpreisträgers José Saramago geführt wird.
      Ganz toll und einzigartig ist die Architektur des Museums.
      Wir waren echt begeistert!      Read more

      Impressionen aus Lissabon 1

      April 14 in Portugal ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

      Abschied von der Atlantikküste und Odexeice. Nach einem kleinen Frühstück steigen wir 9.50 Uhr in den Bus nach Lissabon. 13.15 Uhr sind wir am Busbahnhof und gegen 14 Uhr stehen wir vor dem Hotel in der Altstadt, alles ringsum ziemlich runtergekommen, der Eingang ist von Straßenverkäufern belagert, so das wir ihn zuerst gar nicht finden. Trotz Ankündigung unserer Ankunftszeit stehen wir vor verschlossener Tür. Nachdem wir über Booking mehrere Nachrichten schreiben, wird uns versichert, dass unser Zimmer bereit ist und die Rezeption uns jederzeit hilft. Erst nach über einer halben Stunde kommt eine Frau, die uns ohne eine Entschuldigung einlässt. Das Zimmer ist mittendrin im Getümmel und eher mehr als etwas runtergekommen. Schade, denn es ist ein schönes altes Haus.
      Wir machen uns frisch und starten mit der Straßenbahn zum MAAT (Museum für Kunst, Architektur und Technologie). Es wurde 2017 eröffnet und stammt von der britischen Architektin Amanda Levete. Es liegt direkt am Ufer des Flusses Tejo im Stadtteil Belem. Ein moderner, interessanter Bau. Vom begehbaren Dach aus hat man einen tollen Ausblick auf die Brücke des 25. April und die große Christus Statue auf dem anderen Ufer des Tejo. Im Museum ist gerade Ausstellungsumbau, deshalb gehen wir nicht rein. Wir fahren zurück und lassen uns durch die Altstadt treiben. Wir landen zufällig in einem Restaurant direkt an der Standseilbahn da Bica (eröffnet 1892, Länge 260 m, Höhendifferenz 45 m, max. Steigung 19,1 %) und können beim Essen wunderbar in Ruhe die Berg- und Talfahrten der Bahn beobachten. Wir schlendern Richtung Hotel zurück und da es immer noch angenehm warm ist, gönnen wir uns noch einen Wein.      Read more

      Lissabon

      May 10, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Nach den ruhigen und sehr erholsamen Tagen in der Extrematura haben wir uns wieder ins Großstadtgetümmel getraut.
      Hier tummeln sich bestimmt dreimal so viele Touristen wie bei unserem letzten Besuch im September, gefühlt sind es 10x so viel! 🫣🤪
      Auch die Gruppen der Kreuzfahrtschiffe ziehen wieder durch Lissabon.
      Nachdem wir uns nach der Fahrt quer durch Portugal unsere Füße in der City und am Ufer des Tejo vertreten haben, sind wir wieder einmal im Time Out Market gelandet…. köstlich wie immer! 😋😋      Read more

      Lisbon, Portugal

      April 30 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      The hairstylist had to cancel my previous appointment due to illness, so I had it rescheduled for today at 8:00.

      After my hair appointment, I went back to the room and tried to pay our roofing contractor one more time.

      We went to lunch at 11:30 AM. Jenni joined us at lunch. I tried to talk her into seeing if she could join our tour as she didn't have a tour for the day. She said that she would think about it.

      I ran downstairs and picked up our passport for the final time.

      We then got our coats on and headed out for the tour.

      We asked the excursion person if there was room for Jenni. She indicated that they had confirmed Jenni on the tour and we were assigned to the same bus.

      Once on the bus, I called Bank of America's fraud department because they blocked my online payment to our roofing contractor. I am hoping that this payment will finally go through.
      We could immediately tell that we had a good guide today. He gave us a lot on information and had a great sense of humor.

      We drove to the Queluz Royal Palace while the guide gave us information on the history of Portugal.

      The Queluz Royal Palace was impressive. We toured several wings of the palace and the garden.

      We then drove to the quaint, hilly town of Sintra. Our guide was from Sintra so he was a wealth of information regarding the town. There is a National Palace located in Sintra but entrance to this palace was not part of the tour. We toured the "garden" of the National Palace which was really a pour excuse a garden.

      Bob, Jenni and I walked through the town. We toured an actual artist school where students were working on tiles and other ceramic art.

      We met the group just outside the National Palace, walked to the bus, and then had a drive along the coastline.

      The traffic was bad so we didn't get back to the ship until around 7:00 PM. We quickly changed and had dinner in the restaurant with Jenni because lobster thermidor was on the menu.

      We really enjoyed our first day in Portugal. It was nice to have a great guide.

      Porto, Portugal April 28

      April 28 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Our first night in the apartment went well. Eating breakfast and enjoying coffee. Did some more city exploring then took a 50 minute boat tour on the River Douro of the six bridges. Nice views of the city. Walked across the Luis 1 bridge again and bought tickets for port tasting and tour at the Burmester cellars then tasted four kinds of port at the Calem cellars while chatting with two fellows from Nottingham, England. Salads from the local mini-grocery for dinner, then we attended the Fado performance not far from the Hotel da Bolsa, which is a steep hike down and then back up to our apartment.Read more

      Porto, Portugal April 29

      April 29 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      To the Clerigos church and tower at 9 a.m. We were first in the line! About a 200' climb up circular stairs to the two observation levels near the top of the tower. Beautiful 360 degree views. Then down to the Burmester cellars on the other side of the Luis 1 bridge for a short tour of the cellars followed by port tasting. Enjoyable. Nice conversation with people from Austria and Poland at our table. topped by a quirky business that sells canned seafood with interesting labels. On to visit the World of Wine (the chocolate and cork exhibitions). Nice exhibitions with occasional errors in English. But overpriced. Returned to the apartment stopping by a small restaurant for Curry Dourada (fish) along the way.Read more

      Sintra, Portugal, April 30

      April 30 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Took a Uber to the bus station then a bus ride from Porto to Sintra. Nice ride with Wifi. Checked in to the Villa Aedan using an Uber - which had a tough time figuring out where it was. I had trouble locating the place on Google maps, too. After some unpacking we walked to the recommended Apeadeiro restaurant and had a nice mid-day meal. They even provided a glass of port and a pastry to each of us at the end of our meal. From there we walked to the Quinta de Regeleira a private mansion with lots of novelties now owned by the City of Sintra as a tourist attraction. Fun place including the Well of Initiation, a 70' plus hole excavated in limestone with a circular stairway winding around an open center. Several quirky towers, lots of exotic flowers and trees with a chapel and a mansion right out of The Adams Family (the old TV show). Google maps gave us some trouble here and we ended up walking the wrong way for a while, adding a half mile or more to our walk to the entrance. Our entrance fee was seven euros - the cost for people over 65. Returned to our room at the Villa Aedan which requires three keys to get in. One for the front gate, one for the front door, and then one for the room. Walked into town again to explore and bought two clementines at a local store. Ate the last of the Queso Cabrales from Cangas de Onis.Read more

      Day 15

      Sintra, May 1

      May 1 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      A full day of seeing the National Palace of Pena where the last kings and queens of Portugal lived before the 1910 revolution ended the monarchy and the Castle of the Moors, and 11th century fortress which eventually fell to the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula. Did not start well. We paid to take a bus up to the palace. We had traveled less than mile when traffic stopped - due to a bus up the road which had managed to block traffic and not get turned around. So we abandoned the bus and walked - asking for lots of directions along the way. Toured the very crowded palace at 3 p.m. and the palace grounds, then we walked to the Castle of the Moors and hiked up the battlements to the top for views in all directions including the Atlantic Ocean, the Tagus River, downtown Lisbon, and all of the Sintra area. Very interesting visit. Then we hiked down a trail - which sort of vanished when we got to the outskirts of town requiring Google maps to help us find our way. Stopped at a small cafe for wine, coffee, and an appetizer then returned to the Apeadeiro restaurant for a full dinner complete with cheesecake, port, and two pastries, the last port and pastries courtesy of the restaurant.Read more

      Lisbon by Foot

      April 5 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

      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
