Day 24 - Lisbon, Portugal

Blogging Circle of Friends: DAY 3507 May 24, 2024

While you all rested on the 6 hour flight from Marrakech to Lisbon, I managed to catch a 18 hour flight and get plenty of sleep. Thank goodness this is virtual because in real life that would be deadly. If I wasn't so excited about Lisbon, I would be more of a rebel... but I miss you all.

Lyn's a Witchy Woman says we're running for a Journey through Wonderland. Eight hours of castles and history. I took tons of pictures and even got in more sketching. I have gotten some ideas for stories from all the sights.

But before any of that one must get some Pastéis de Belém. I absolutely LOVE these.
It's the most famous spot in Lisbon to eat pastéis de nata, and is an absolute must when you visit. Since 1837, locals and tourists alike have been lining up to snag a box of custard tarts to eat in the café or on the go.

We'll be staying at the Jupiter Lisboa Hotel

We'll be eating in the hotel this evening. I have heard Portuguese wine is very good. I'll be making this an early night as we have a crazy flight at dawn to Georgetown, Guayana.

I feel like I have been living on a plane these last couple of days.
