We stayed at the very nice Sofitel Lisboa hotel (quite possibly the nicest hotel during the whole trip)
The Praca de Comercio is in the heart of downtown Lisbon
On our first stroll we stumbled upon the very beautiful Se Cathedral
Se Cathedral dates back to 1147 and was built on the site of the Moor's main mosque
We really liked the beautiful organ
After Se Cathedral we hiked up towards Castelo de Sao George
We noticed a very beautiful rooftop garden and were inspired for our home
This is the impressive Castelo de Sao George
On the grounds near the castle they were setting up for a big party
Since we were not invited to the party we stopped at a cool roof top bar
That night we met a bunch of triathlon friends at a nice vegeterian restaurant called green pepper
The next day we came past this very nicely designed bull fighting arena
This bridge connects Lisboa over the Rio Tejo
The Tower of Belem used to be a defensive outpost for Lisbon
The Maritime Museum of Lisbon is housed in a very cool building
We also visited the botanic gardens
I had to do a silly touristy picture
We ran across a few peacocks and they were beautiful and quite loud
That afternoon we went to check out the modern art museum of Lisbon
Amy gave some money to this street performer with the cute little dog
We took the Elevator de Santa Justa and got to see a great view of Lisbon
Amy was amazed by this superbly clean public restroom
There is lots of great shopping in Lisbon
The Tram 28 is a quite well known Lisbon feature
My friend Sergio Marques owns Lusobike with his partner Julio
Here I am with Sedi, Helder and daughter Ines and Sergio
Amy at a great vista near Cascais (Helder and Ines were great tour guides)
This area is called hole of inferno
One nice beach in Cascais with small fishing boats in the background
The eastern most point of continental Europe is Cabo de Roca in Portugal
Just in case you don't believe us :-)
A nice view from Cabo di Roca, but it was very windy
Sintra is a cute little town in the mountains
We had some great pastries in Sintra
