Lisbon

We were in Lisbon a little over a year ago, so it's somewhat familiar. Last time we walked up and down the hills in the old city but this time we were planning to take the "tourist" tram. We knew that we could get a day pass, but it took a bit to find the metro station and it only had machines with no information our ticket counter. It worked ok, but was a bit of a hassle. Having the pass did make using the public transit easier.

Our first experience with the tram was an "everyone for themself" situation -  no sense is queuing - just rush on. With Stan moving slowly with his walking stick, people just pushed past. He was about to give up since he couldn't stand on the tram without injuring himself when the tram driver made a teenager stand and gave Stan a seat. We didn't really know where we were going (and I think we should have actually been going the other direction), so just took two trams to the end, then wandered looking for the famous tarts. We had a nice cup of coffee, good Wi-Fi and shared a few bites of a cream filled tart. We had thought we'd take a tram back around, but for whatever reason it seemed like they just weren't coming anymore (and there was a long line at that point). We opted for the metro (also on the pass) and took it back to within a few blocks of the ship.

I think by this time, after 80 days on the ship, we were definitely shopped out and were fine just enjoying lunch in the Lido overlooking the skyline of Lisbon. We were late for dinner since we wanted to enjoy our final sailaway. It's a beautiful city to sail into and out of - a good way to end our voyage.
