Lisbon - the first cultural experience of the trip






Lisbon is a beautiful city, with its crowded back streets, old fashioned trams and quaint little squares. The city is crumbling apart in places, but it's kept its charm and doesn't seem to have folded to much mainstream tourism. My family came out to join us for the week, so we ended up doing some vaguely cultural things for a change. Also a good chance to be fed on real home cooking, which had been lacking a bit on the boat. Other than the churches, forts, monuments and palaces, there was still time for a day at the beach in Guicho, which is a popular surf destination on the West coast. Some pictures attached. We set sail to Madeira on Tuesday...
