It's 12 noon and I am sitting at a lovely table in the shade of an enormous red umbrella on the rooftop bar.I can't think of a better place to while away the time until my flight.Being picked up from the Lobby at 6.40pm tonight.So a bit of time yet.I am not going to walk Lisbon anymore.It is a brilliant sunny day here but very hot.Not that I am complaining!Just look at that sky!!!( I've got a little bit of a tan.)But, as I won't be getting on the ...

What an evening.7pm.All the clouds have gone and I am back on the rooftop for dinner.Glorious blue skies.And what a view.My bracelets ...( Watch .... K-mart.)Calais.Algarve.Nazare.On The Wall at Dubrovnik!!!!Yah!!

The patina was magnificent and ...
