Lisbon, Portugal

Our view from our Hotel room window



Us from th Fortress at the top of the city

Many beautiful tiles like these everywhere in Portugal
Se' Cathedral
The local tram service
Ahhh the Ginjinha! A local tradition of drinking shots of cherry brandy. This is the entire size of the place that you can see - very small. Idea is that you come in get a shot, and stand on the street.
Simon and a wee penguin
The biggest fish at the Oceanario de Lisboa
Europe's longest bridge - 17.2km


Our first European trip for 2009. Lisbon's weather of 12/13 degrees was pretty lush compared to the snow we are experiencing in London at the moment. We could imagine this place being absolutely gorgeous in the summer. We might just have to go back...
