Bom Dia! Hello from Lisbon, Portugal! Pretty crazy...we have now almost travelled around the globe, but doing it the long way by doubling back on ourselves! We got on a flight from Toronto on Sunday night at 5:30pm, it was pretty tight - again, think the flu may have worked in our favour so we could get on. Did a change in Frankfurt to fly to Lisbon - Frankfurt is one of the longest terminals - we must have walked over 3 km to get to our gate - they are all in a straight line. Pretty tired as our body clocks are now completely off, I have no idea what time I am on!
The plan is to spend until Friday here in Lisboa and then get on some bikes and spend 2 weeks cycling through Portugal. Off to bed, even though it is 6:30pm here, we can't stay awake another minute. Due to our strange travelling habits and using credit cards in 3 cities/countries/continents within 72 hours, Scott's card got shut down - all good now and fixed :)
Hi Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed PR. I didn't get a chance to compare pina coladas on this trip so we'll have to go back again. The kids loved the fort and swimming several hours/day. Our hotel had a huge number of iguanas which wandered around the pool and occasionally went for swims.
I was a little surprised at all of the walled compounds and barred windows. Those things always make me a bit nervous about violent crime. Of course, we had no problems at all and had a great time there.
We had some great meals in San Juan. The food at our resort was ok so we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food in San Juan. We even had some fantastic Turkish food one day.
Where are you headed in Portugal? We've been to the Algarve many times (Praia do Vau, near Alvor). It's beautiful there. I've also heard great things about Porto from Doris and Ian.
Enjoy!
Teresa
