We landed in beautiful Lisbon, Portugal after our standard 14 hour flight from Calgary to pretty much anywhere. As usual British Airways provided a great experience, a great airline.
- Landing in Lisbon
Grabbed a cab at the Lisbon Portela Airport and headed to our B&B, Zuza B&B. We booked this B&B back in March of 2012 and were very lucky to get a booking. The place is a very highly rated place on Trip Advisor and well worth it. The views off our balcony were spectacular, by day..
- Lisbon by Day
or by night..
- Lisbon by night
As usual on our arrival, we were pretty much exhausted. We asked Luis (a terrific host) to point us in the direction of a close by restaurant where we could have some good food and settle in. It wasn’t far. We could see it off the balcony as a matter of fact.
- The Buenos Aires Restaurant
The place is called Buenos Aires and it had some crazy salads.
And, as always, some liquid refreshments…
Just a quick post to prove we did get there. Lots more to come over the next few weeks as we continue in Lisbon, set off to Sintra, then away to Seville, Cordoba, Toledo, Barcelona, Malaga and many other places. Until next post, CHEERS.
Portugal is a beautiful country.
Agreed. Only spent 3 days. Our bad. We will have to fix that some day
Oh yes. You should visit Jamaica as well, if you haven’t done so yet.
It is in the plan. Just not sure when. Hopefully sooner than later
Ok man. Sounds good.
Lucky guy!!! I’m losing track of how many times I tell you I’m jealous.
Have a great time and be safe!!

We got back safe and sound, to snow yech
Beautiful! Was it a local neighborhood restaurant or a tourist joint, and did the menu/feel reflect that?
It was both. The B&B shared space with a restaurant which he said to stay away from. Buenos Aires shared terrace with another one that he also said to stay away from and make sure we sat in the right area. He was absolutely correct. We hit another of his recommends the next night that I am putting in my next post. MMMMMMM
