Lisbon II

Going back to Lisbon in November. Have seen many interesting places in Lisbon but you can always find something interesting and new places when you return to a city. Staying quite central but not in the same Hotel as before. Last year stayed in a very central and cheap Hotel but decided to pay extra and try elsewhere. The offer of free wireless internet clinched it for me. Mum is still recovering from her Knee Op so Lisbon is a good choice for easy transport links and we know the area from previous visits.

Last year went on a ferry to the other side of the river to Cahicas, and hope to go again, plenty to see there and loads of fish restaurants and old cafes. Might get a ferry back to Belem, a town about 3 km from Central Lisbon and full of Restaurants, cafes and several Museums. Hope to go back to Sintra, plenty to see and do there and plenty of shops selling all kinds of Christmas tat and cheap presents. Mum loves those shops and brings back loads of crap. I got presents in Sintra for some friends last year so I hope they ant reading this.

Hope to try some new Restaurants and return to one we enjoyed last time.
