Monday 29 August, arrival in Lisboa

Cool on arrival, obligatory arrival photo.

"Nothing ever becomes real until it is experienced. "
John Keats

Two hour discussion with Hugo, native who works in London designing work spaces. Believe Trump will prevail as he thinks mood of Europe and USA similar. Lots of good local info gleaned. Here and another local told us coffee names. Less than full overlap, especially over Abatanádo.

Evening arrival but, as expected, not too late to eat. Might never be too late here or in Spain. Bumpy flight to London, good easy jet flight to Lisbon, aero bid to hotel, right by stop.

Dinner at populi in the big square near the hotel. Started with a very very dry red wine from the Dão region. A good choice by the easier. House of health.

Pousada of Lisbon, our domicile for a few days, is the Portugese equivalent of the Paradors in Spain. Generally old historically interesting buildings preserved by turning them into hotels. http://www.pousadasofportugal.com/pousadas/lisbon/
