Fun on a Funicular

Filling in time in Lisbon

Our flight tonight is at 9.15pm am and a shuttle is picking us up at 6.15 so we had a day to fill in in Lisbon. Had an “American Buffet” for breakfast at the Ramada (€12.50 each) which was exactly what you would imagine an American breakfast to be. We then got the metro down to the waterfront and wandered about. Checked out the Time Out Food Market, Pink Street (very quiet in the morning but very lively at night), sand and stone sculptures at the river’s edge, Coffee at Rossio train station (to get out of the heat and humidity), had a ride on a funicular (Lavra Funicular, opened in 1884) and walked through some of the Moorish Quarter (the old part of Lisbon that survived the earthquake). Then back to the hotel to wait for the shuttle and a long, long journey home, which we are dreading.
