Cities? No thank you.

I have come to the conclusion that big cities are not for me, sure there are some nice buildings here and the maritime museum today was a joy to visit but Lisbon is a decaying rabbit warren swamped in tourists. Don't get me wrong, the majority of the inhabitants I have met are lovely friendly people but they are outnumbered by the tourists. I discovered the multitrip transport ticket today which gives you access to trains, trams, underground and buses. Superb value for money but don't bother joining a queue for the tram, if you do eventually get on one you become a member of that line's human sauna and get your pocket picked while enjoying the experience. The buses are a little better and the trains and Metro even better - at least they adhere to their advertised times.
I took myself seriously today about having a day off, and after a home cooked meal I am finishing off the white, I hope there are not too many spelling mistakes.
More soon.
