I made it to Lisbon a few days ago. I’m staying in the oldest neighborhood of the city, Alfama.
I’ve been recovering from jetlag and exploring a bit. I was so glad that my self-packed bike didn’t get damaged on the way over; all thanks to this video.
Lisbon has excellent bike paths. I rode along the coastline here from the April 25 Bridge down to the Vasco da Gama Bridge.
The apartment I’m staying in seems to be between a child daycare playground and a drug dealer. So, I’m hearing a lot of interesting things day and night. It’s quite annoying really, but I can live with it for a few days. It makes me want to get out of my apartment 😀
In a few days I plan to load up my bags onto my bike and leave Lisbon to ride down to Sagres.
Happy Birthday Diane!
