LOVELY LISBON

 This Portugal city is large, spread out and all hills! The waterfront is flat but every building has been constructed with a level in their tool box! AND nothing is square as the floor tiles in the places are never lined up with walls etc. 

This was a three night stay which was long enough. We walked up hills, down hills and through alleys and many stairs were involved too. 

Our Airbnb was right in the middle of the stairway heading down where Paul is carrying our groceries. 









Lisbon has a market WHICH is called Time Out. I knew it was there and searched it out. Our boat is named Time Out, so of course we had to take photos. This market is a fancy food court with wine, liquor,  gourmet foods with fancy group seating. Expensive as it is a touristy place to visit. 










The internet here in our Airbnb is so fast so I am uploading/including a few extra photos in this post because why not? 😆 






These tents are not used! They are quite small and in a park. They were unique. 


The Funicular is a very steep tram that takes you up and down, pay $ of course. We took it up once and then we walked up and down. It was crowded but fun and historical.

NAZARE GEM

This small town right on the ocean was on Paul's bucket list. As I was planning the trip I realized a day trip from Lisbon was not going to work. I booked less nights in Lisbon and booked three nights in Nazare. I splurged on the Airbnb, this was a place with a huge window looking down at this famous beach.  Nazare has the steepest hills so far...... I know this because the Airbnb was at the top of the highest hill! Great views means great climbs! The sunset is so beautiful there too! This town is famous for the largest waves in the world. Starting in November onward the waves start building. The surfers and other dare devils start arriving along with the spectators! IIn Nazare and many other Portuguese towns, there are wild and free cats. These cats seem well fed and friendly. In Nazare we saw many cat "houses" where residents can drop off food and water. Everyone shares this cat caring endeavor. All these little cubby holes have a blanket in them with cat food. BTW We d...
