So here we are … in Lisbon once again. When we were here last we had such a lovely time, so it seemed a good place to start our Portugal journey.

The flight from Munich to Lisbon was quite uneventful. I had a window seat so I did enjoy the view. I will post photos when they finally appear on the iPad. (It seems to take a while for them to get in the cloud. No clue why.)

Disembarking from the plane we then had to get a shuttle to the terminal. We were at this airport on another trip and I sure didn’t remember that … but I forget things easily. That is one of the big reasons for this blog, in fact. It’s very helpful to look back at entries!

Getting a ride to the hotel wasn’t entirely uneventful: Dan ordered a Bolt, and while we were charged he then got a message that there was no internet connection, so we hadn’t a clue what car was coming (IF it was coming), so I had to order an Uber. But after a bit of a wait we got our car, with a very talkative driver from Bangladesh who is here to eventually get a Portuguese passport if I understood him correctly. He got us to our hotel after midnight. But of course we aren’t on Portugal time so it doesn’t feel all that late to us. Our room is typically small, with barely a spot for luggage, but hey, it’s Europe and we are more than happy to be here!

Stay tuned for photos at a later date … hoping soon, but we’ll see. UPDATE: Done!

Funny side note: while I’m a stickler about hanging up clothes at home, the person now unpacking and hanging up clothes is Dan. We seem to switch roles on vacation. Go figure!
