2017 Camino Portuguese – Lisbon, the start of a new day

It’s always a bit disorienting flying to a new city, taking the metro and popping up somewhere. Which exit you came out of and which direction you are heading the first (and sometimes the second) time is something that you must figure out before randomly following the crowd down a street.

As I was intent on getting to my hostel, lots of people were taking a picture. So I turned around and found this elevator and room above. Not sure what it is/does but I’ll go back in the daylight and find out.

I have a whole day to explore this part of Lisboa before I head out on Thursday. If things go well on the camino, I will have 2-3 days extra to wander around more.

Enjoyed he too-warm weather and thankful it will be cooler tomorrow when I have my pack on.

I’ll head out again tonight and see if the city came to life other than the shops. Most bars and Places to listen to fado were closed.

Tomorrow will likely be a short day but I will end up traveling 60Km. I’m going to bypass the industrial suburbs of Lisbon and take the train to Azambuja. Then again, I might not. I guess tomorrow will tell.
