Lisbon

We started our day with a brioche toasted with ham and cheese, coffee, juice and Mitchell tried a milkshake (not good). Once sated we headed for a church Ed found unfortunately it only opens in the late afternoon. We then checked out the botanical gardens. Loads of plants were from Australia, Mexico and China. It was very relaxing.

They love training the branches on their trees.

Plant is from Queensland.

Ouch!

We next headed in the direction of a canteen run by nuns. The meal was really good! I had cod fish fritters, Ed had hake, Mitchell and Sabrina had Pork with Rice as well as having dessert and drinks. The view was fantastic and the weather perfect!

You look in betwern buildings to phenomenal views.

After lunch we headed for Belem. We just looked at the monuments from the outside and enjoyed walking along the waterfront. Ed and kids tried out a scooter and intend to hire three tomorrow whilst I visit a museum. You cannot visit Belem and not have a natas. We had a coffee and a pastry - delicious!

Next we headed towards home. Brina and I stopped off at El Corte Ingles. She saw a handbag in Porto and was hoping it would be available here. Alas all sold out. We checked out some of the produce in the supermarket below. Yum!
