Lisbon Portugal by Land & River

This was our second visit to Lisbon and we opted for an overview bus tour and an hour and half boat ride to see the city from the Tagus River.

We had to be reminded that Portugal became a Republic as recently as the 1970s.

The old town is still the center of activity expecially for tourists.



Because the Queen Victoria was not leaving the port until midnight, we took advantage of the opportunity to have a fine meal at one of their many seafood restaurants not far from our ship.

How do you feel in the last voyage for Southampton ?
Your photo of Lisboa reminds us, Ritsuko and I, the new year of '06 when we spent there for about 10 days, Cobo du Roca, Fatima and so on.
We could travel from Sydney to Lisbon with you for these two months owing to your Blog of "Traver with Phyllis & Barry"
We thank you for the above and congratulate on the safe completion of the Great Travel.
