Lisbon

On our only full day in Lisbon - we decided that in order to best learn about the city - we should do the hop on hop off bus so that we could orient ourselves.  It was good for orienting - but that’s about it - the commentary was minimal - though we did get to appreciate a lot of Fado music.  We toured through Belem, Oriente and the old town.  We took a tuk-tuk to see the old town as the roads are so small - it was a quick tour, but fun.  During the tour - we got off at the river to better see the Belem Tower and the St Geronimo Cathedral and Maritime museum.  They were all interesting.  We stopped in a market place and Andy bought a hat made of cork.  We also got off in the Expo village at the end of the Orient line to see a hotel there and ride a tram.  We saw  a train station with a Calatrava structure on top.  Once we got back to the hotel -and cleaned up - we went back to the old town for dinner at a restaurant Andy found - Sal Grosso - a restaurant no one had ever heard of on a street you could only walk on.  It was great - owned by the chef and his wife - a real family affair.  Only had about 20 seats total.  We enjoyed dinner.
