11:11:30

11:29:07
Walking down the Avenue Liberdade. This seems to be Lisbons answer to the Champs Elysees.

11:32:09
Pausing to take a picture of this tram.

11:33:21
The graffiti is a real shame though.

11:49:24
At Ginjinha Sem Rival for a quick midday (ish) shot of cherry brandy, as apparently the Portuguese do.

11:49:44

11:51:19

11:58:10
Nice hat shop.

11:58:21

11:58:27

12:01:54
In Praca da Figueira, a square with a nice view up to the castle.

12:06:30
Confeitaria Nacional, the first on my list of historic cafes I wanted to try pastel at.

12:06:53
The pastel (pasteis?) in the window.

12:06:57

12:19:50
The counter at Confeitaria Nacional. It seemed to take a long time to get served.

12:25:32
Having our coffees and pastries at Confeitaria Nacional. The coffee was not very good.

12:31:31
Me and Leon respectfully appreciating the historic interior.

12:31:34

12:31:44

12:39:46
Lisbon's famous elevator tower thing. We decided not to bother.

12:40:07

12:40:11

12:52:33
Now down at the Praca do Comercio, by what we kept wanting to call the sea, but is in fact the river Tagus.

12:53:59

12:54:02

12:54:04

12:55:52

12:58:11
The river Tagus.

12:58:23
They even had a beach!

13:00:41
The girls having a quick play on the beach.

13:00:54

13:03:40

13:15:45
Now heading towards lunch.

14:10:28
In the Time Out market for lunch. It was a bit overcrowded.

14:13:08
The three of us eating our not very Portuguese lunch. It was very hard work finding anything vegetarian amongst Portuguese cuisine.

14:13:14
My porcini and truffle pizza. It was good, but at 19 Euros it had better be!

15:52:57
En route to an ice cream shop, we found this interesting building where the girls posed for pictures.

15:53:01
I particularly like this one.

15:54:48

15:54:54

16:09:52
In the ice cream shop / gelateria.

16:20:57
They had a slide!

16:21:00

16:21:06

16:51:41
Leon found this rooftop bar, where we went for a late afternoon / early evening drink.

16:51:49

16:57:55
Nice spot, but our table was very unstable and it felt like the whole thing was going to fall over! A bit unnerving.

16:57:58

16:58:00

16:58:04

16:58:12

16:59:52

17:04:57

17:14:42

17:15:05
Silly self portraits.

17:15:13

17:55:22
The girls doing Chie's hair.

17:59:01
The sun starting to set over the Tagus.

17:59:34

18:01:59

18:21:06
The girls dancing.

18:37:17

18:38:05

18:38:07

18:38:19

18:39:45

18:41:58
Me and Chie.

Later on in the taxi I took this picture of an Aperol Spritz stand.
