Trip to Lisbon - Day 1

Well, I did not come back to Europe in vain, that much is clear. One of the main reasons for coming back was the simple fact that I realized how little I had seen of Europe in my 30 years of living here.
So here I am, about 7 weeks after getting back from the US - and I'm sticking to my word. I have booked myself on a short 5 day trip to Lisbon, Portugal.

I'm way too tired to write anything, besides, I really don't have that much to say yet. From what I've seen so far (in the dark and from the air) Lisbon is a total knockout city. I can't wait to run my feet ragged for the next few days.

I only spent a few hours on the old Expo 98 site here in Lisbon but it was fab! The weather, though it looked like it would be nasty, seemed to have gone (for the day at least) so I didn't have to put up with rain! YEY! Granted, all pics I took and all filming did happen while it was dark outside but I shall return for more later! Until then, enjoy the first day pics!

Flying over northern Spain/Portugal with beautiful mountains peeking through the clouds!





I had to get a shot of these windmills (and film them too, as a matter of fact) - they looked too cool!


Looks nasty, doesn't it? The looming dark clouds over Lisbon - thankfully there was no rain when I got ready to go sightseeing a few hours later!


The ex-Expo 98 site and the Vasco Da Gama shopping centre at its entrance. Looks MUCH more imposing than in this picture!!!


Still at the Expo site - part of the Oriente train station


And this is some tower close to the Vasco Da Gama bridge but I can't by the life of me remember what it was called - I will get more info tomorrow. And a better picture! LOL



That's all folks! Goodnight! :-)
