After the Azores it was difficult to adjust to the busy-ness and heat of Lisbon. It seemed like in the week we were gone summer had turned it up a few notches. One evening wandering the streets around 6pm we passed one of those outside clocks that not only tell you the time but the temperature as well and it was still a balmy 37 degrees. Suffice to say the next day we spent cooling off at a busy sandy beach in the Cascais neighborhood. After the rocky pools of the azores we had forgotten that sandy beaches are not ideal on a windy day. Suffice to say we brought home a lot of sand in our gear that day.
We had a lovely air bnb place for the four nights which was bliss after a week of camping on hard rocky ground. Our place was on one of the many hills in lisbon. It was pretty tough going the first night with our big bags climbing all 158 stairs up to our street and then the remaining three flights of stairs in our apartment. Legs and booty have definitely been getting a work out in the streets of Lisbon. In saying that because of all the hills there are many Miradours providing great outlooks over the city and river.
