Tuesday 11 Oct - Raparee’s big day out in Lisbon

Great and satisfyingly tiring day out in sweltering heat. Best for us was the old Castle and its grounds. Great views and tremendous atmosphere. Highly Recommended.  Indifferent tourist lunch in cobbled square by Castle.  The waterfront to the West of the centre is also great, with the Monument of Discoveries and the strangely out of place looking Tower of Belem. Spectacular sunset and moonrise over the huge Tagus suspension bridge. Cruise liners by the score departing. PM light meal in classy waterfront café and old fashioned tram back to boat for hot chocolate with whiskey. Will definitely go back to Lisbon
