To Lisbon

Any early start. I finished cleaning the boat and stowing the foresails below.
Then it was time to leave. Although my case was not heavy it was quite a walk to into town and I was glad of my belated conversion to wheelie suitcases.
The bus to Lisbon left Nazaré at 12:25 and arrived at north Lisbon bus station around 15:00. A comfortable trip for the very reasonable fare of €8.30.
I then used the excellent Lisbon public transport system to make my way to Belem where I stayed at the Pensáo Residential Setubalense. Cheap and cheerful at €35.00 per night.
It was a lovely warm afternoon so I walked along the river and then into the centre of Lisbon. Not the wisest decision to wear my new flip flops on such a long walk and break-in blisters resulted.
Tagus Bridge
Blisters aside I had a good look around the city. It was warm and sunny and I liked the feel of the place.
