WOW, what a day! Got to a late and lazy start, woke up at 9:30, had breakfast, checked out at 12:30 and headed to Lisbon airport. Took our first flight from Lisbon to Zurich with Swiss. They had amazing service and very nice leg room. Zurich airport was very disappointing - while it was lovely, it was VERY expensive (as can be expected), but there were no special Swiss choclates there, too. We then took our second flight from Zurich to Paris, which was short and ...

Woke up to a rainy day in Lisbon, plus Ami was sick, so we cancelled our plans for Sintra, and rested at the hotel instead, plus moved rooms. :-) I then went alone to the Portugese national tiles museum, which was very hard to find, but was nice. We then lounged a bit and went to the biggest mall in the Iberian peninsula, where we are now having dinner. Tomorrow marks the end of our trip, as we go back to Tel Aviv via Zurich and Paris, secretly hoping for over bo...

We had a decent day today in Belem. Getting there was a nightmare, literally. Avoid tram 15 at all costs. It is overcrowded, noisy, smelly and slowww. We then visited the famous monastery, the stunning Discoverers monument and the tower of Belem. I then went to visit the former Expo 1998 site, which was nice, plus I saw the local X-Factor being taped. Tomorrow we were supposed to go to Sintra, but due to a nasty weather, we might be forced to stay in Lisbon. ...

We had a rather pleasant - if a bit short - day in Lisbon.We went to the Baixa and Avenida and then to Bairro Alto and Estrela. They are nice areas, but they lack the "WOW" effect. We ended up not walking THAT much, but the hills of Lisbon, oh, the hills of Lisbon - no maps nor pre-reading about it can prepare you for it. You simply need to be fit. VERY fit. :) Ah yeah, we also got our luggage this morning, thankfully. :) Tomorrow we're off to the Belem region, s...

This morning, our TAP flight was cancelled and we were moved to Iberia, but the domb asses forgot to send our luggage with us, although we specifically asked for it. We ended up in hot Lisbon with only what we are wearing. Our bags are somewhere in Europe... . We did manage to do some sightseeing, though. It`s a lovely city but the luggage thingie ****** us off... . Let`s hope we get our bags tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
