Final Visit to Lisbon

We spent the last 5 nights of our vacation visiting sights in Lisbon.


View from the Castle de Jorge.


Drawbridge of the Castle de Jorge.  We found out later that this is actually the SIDE door.


View from the tower of the keep, the highest point in Lisbon.


Day trip to Belem, along with most of the tourists and at least one full cruise ship.  The lineups were too long so we didn't actually see any of the sights.


Monument to the discoverers.


Lighthouse in Belem, stripped like a cork tree!


This sign attracted our attention, but then when we got closer we just felt cheated.


View from the main plaza in Lisbon.


Day trip to Sintra to visit the Pena Palace.


Crowds at the Pena Palace.  It is a converted monestary, the older (monestary) sections are red and the "new" palace sections are yellow.


Guardian at the Pena Palace.


Getting cold and windy!


View from Sintra - if you quint you can make out the Moorish Castle up on the hill.


Market in Lisbon.


Pastel de Nata!!!


Putting the "fun" in "funicular".


Day trip to Cacilhas.


Tons of abandoned building porn in Cacilhas!  The whole shorefront was abandoned.


Car park (?) in Cacilhas.


More abandoned buildings and graffiti in Cacilhas.


Last night in Lisbon, "chin-chin"!
