Lisbon is all hills. I had forgotten what a touristy city was like, Lisbon is like Venice with hills. What have I let myself in for!
Yesterday's travel arrangements went of without a hitch, I can't fault the express bus service, on time and comfortable. I was picked up at the bus station by Vasco who took me to my funky apartment on the top floor of an old house in Bairro Alto, I had time to walk a couple of the hills before meeting Marta for our Portuguese meal, boy that girl can talk, she didn't stop for five and a half hours. The meal also included a nighttime tour of Lisbon which was great for the views and as an orientation exercise.
I have really struck lucky, Vasco and Marta are such genuine helpful people, their one wish is to make sure their clients have all the info they need to enjoy Lisbon.
Bobbins sounds like Mr Grumpy contaminated you for a while there .....
ReplyDeleteThe guides sound great, she can't talk that much .... can she ?
The hills will be good for you ..... walk off all the Saga wine!
Do these guys part as well ?
Remember Lisbon was part town down under the bridge .... but more for the young folks !!
Bet these guys don't take you there .... You are going to get Lisbon's Lisbon ....
Enjoy
