Saturday 11th September

Lisboa or Lisbon to the uninitiated is the capital of Portugal. A bright sunny day greeted us as we disembarked and caught the shuttle bus into town – about a ten minute journey.
We walked through the old town, up and down and across and back for about 3 hours or so with a brief stop for coffee and some lunch.
Shoe shops abound here and the prices are very good and even the clothes shops weren’t bad prices. The old city is a great place to walk around with the old buildings still in use and the restaurants set up on the sides of all the cobbled roads.
We then caught a hop on hop off bus for a guided tour through the city. Unfortunately the commentary gave out after a couple of sightseeing places so we just watched the passing parade of possibly historic buildings and got off when we got back to the ship.
