Free day turns full

Our last day in Lisbon began slowly, with a bit of organising needed. With a few options we decided to take the ferry across the estuary to Cacilhas where the fish restaurants were recommended and there were views back to the city.
The lunch in a local restaurant where no English was spoken proved to be a memorable experience. I thought our communication may have been wrong when my fish stew arrived. It was family sized, and along with Gail’s fish, prawns and rice dish, it was fantastic.
Robert opted to head back for another tram ride up through the hills while Gail and I trudged up the hill for some spectacular views of Lisbon across the bay. Thankfully there was an elevator back down to see level. We realised we should have gone up the elevator and walked back down 5he hill to the ferry! Dinner was Gail’s choice of a wine and tapas at a place called Nova where we enjoyed the sommelier and the company of a French couple over some excellent Portuguese wine and food. Wandered down to the Eurovision site at Placa de Comércio to finish off a great last day in Lisbon.
