Before we enter the Mediterranean, we need to visit the sea Port of Portugal, Lisbon.. Again, we had been here more than two decades before so instead of focusing on the city of Lisbon we are going out of the city to the popular hilly town of Sinatra and beach town of Cascais both establish since the 19th century
Sinatra is a very scenic spot, since it’s Sunday… It’s packed with cars and tourists…. Kind of scarry to see our big tour bus winding down and up the narrow streets
Caicais is another touristy spot by the sea, 45 minutes away from downtown Lisbon …
Back to downtown Lisbon, vibrant town packed with shop, cafes, restaurants and bakeries
We combed the narrow cobbled stone streets of Lisbon for hours, finally gave up….. There’s never enough time or energy…. Persistence is key… Looking forward to tomorrow’s sea day to rest
P will follow up some other day with his random photos of our stop in Lisbon that do more justice to the place… There are so many textures and flavors and colors that’s hard to capture all…. Hopefully by now we all kind of have an understanding that this blog is just a rudimentary summary of travel events that happened😉
The dishes are nice. But the pastries are making my mouth watering! I will check out your journal during the day from now on. Otherwise, my 168 will get destroyed sooner or later. Keep showing the glorious food and raise another glass of wine. Cheers!
The 葡氏egg tarts are only about 1.50 usd each… Not expensive at all compared to US inflated prices now… Cheers to you too for your persistence in 168🙌
