April 21, 2019 – Lisbon, Portugal
Today we arrive at 9 am so we decided to hit the gym at our usual 6:30 am time. Obviously we don’t get enough exercise.
Today we are doing another walking tour of the city. It is Easter Sunday and 80% of Portugal is Catholic so we don’t expect much to be open.
We cruised up the Targus river and Ian gave us the play by play starting at 8 am.
We pulled in at 9 am and were next to two other very large cruise ships. It was going to be busy so we decided to get an early start.
Some very narrow streets and alleys.
We walked up and down to see the sights all morning long. Lots of places began to open to our surprise. We decided it was time for lunch. This little restaurant advertised traditional Portuguese food. Terri had a salad (what a surprise) and I had a burger (another surprise). My burger had a fried egg on it and two kinds of gooey cheese. No fries but small boiled potatoes. Delicious.
Did anyone know sardines where this popular? Stores all over town that carried only sardines.
After lunch we did more walking and decided to head back to the ship and drop some of the clothes we had on. It was getting very warm and was nice and sunny.
We headed back out to do some shopping. Terri realized she needed shoes. I acted surprised. She did find a few pair.
Exhausted after shopping we decided to head to the World of Beer Museum. What could be better?
We enjoyed a drink and fast wifi. I was able to finally update my iphone. 32 updates.
Back on the ship we ordered room service, watched the shipped sail back down the Targus and watched a movie.
Porto, Portugal tomorrow.…
