I am sure you know the feeling. Of time passing too fast when you are having a really good time. Tomorrow is our last day in Lisbon, Saturday our Portugal holiday continues by car out in the countryside, and I have no idea where time has flown.
Or....well, I do have some ideas of course, and as I am looking through Terje´s photos, which I just downloaded, I find more.....ideas of what we have done I mean :-)
Two botanical gardens, two days on the beach (Lisbon is perfect for beach days, 30 minues by train, leave the train, a few steps and you are there.......), bacalao or dried cod in a million ways, coffee shops, restaurant, fado music.......and a few tourist sights.
As a matter of fact we have skipped most of the tourists traps on this trip....well, all of them actually. We do have a museum plan for tomorrow though.
Twice we have queued up for the Elevador de Santa Justa, built at the turn of the 20th century by the apprentice of Eiffel, Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, both times we have looked at each other after a few minutes, shook our heads and walked away for another cappuccino and a pastéis de Belém.
Look at these pastries, doesn´t they look yummy :-)
There is a small cafe in Belém, Antige Confeitaria de Belém where they have made these small cakes in more than 100 years. We went to the cafe, but seeing the queue we bought our coffee and cakes nextdoor and walked up the road to Jardim, Agricola Tropical (worth its special blogpost another day)
Last night we went to the district of Bairro Lopes, searcing for fado music. We found, we fell in love and we will go back there tonight (again a special blog post, some day)
