Lisbon – in reverse

Christ the Redeemer, Lisbon

My tour of Lisbon by tuk-tuk was a challenge. I was facing backwards so I missed most of the ‘sights’. I had to hang on for grim death because of the cobbled and steep streets , complete with tram tracks. I certainly could not have walked this route.

Between ensuring that my phone didn’t fall out of my pocket and that I didn’t fall out of the tuk-tuk, there was no way I could have taken a photo of what we had already passed by. Fortunately there were a couple of stops for photos and food.

where the cable tram came off its rails and crashed in 2025 killing 16.

Once on flat ground we were able to visit

For their famous ‘Pastéis de Nata’ (Portuguese tarts). Delicious!

Subsequently we stopped at a wine shop to taste some Portuguese wine,

Then back to our ship.
