7 June 2019 Lisbon



Our walk to Placa Camoes where our guided walk begins, is much easier than the climb last night. The guide, Fraga is energetic and enthusiastic for the entire three and a quarter hour walk. Still haven't worked out if it was the steep steps or the guide that tired me out. We see many tiled buildings and learn about historical figures and events, including the destructive 1755 earthquake and tsunami. The journey travels along the enormously wide Tagus river before heading up hill and steep steps into the Alfama region. It’s a long slow walk back through the heart of Lisbon to our apartment.
