Day 14 – Lisbon

Hotel breakfast again, then trying to decide where to go. Feeling a bit over the historical stuff so picked the aquarium. Personally I think if you’ve seen one aquarium you’ve seen them all, but Song said she hadn’t been to one since 2005. I doubt fish have evolved much since then, but it was a change from old buildings so off we went.

Took the metro and a short walk to the aquarium. The weather was gloomy again, about 16C and overcast. The aquarium was quite good – on 2 levels with a large central tank filled with all kinds of fishy things. Sharks, rays etc. I found Nemo, then after about 2.5 hours we’d seen enough so got back on the metro and went to the town centre for lunch – seafood naturally. Went to one we’d seen the day before but it was way down the Tripadvisor list, so walked to one that was no. 7. Song had a crab and some shellfish that looked as if they were from a sci fi film, and I had a giant tiger prawn. The food was very good, and the place was very busy.

Wandered around a bit more then walked back to the hotel. Once again there were old, boarded up buildings, litter everywhere and graffiti.

Breakfast then onto Porto tomorrow.
