Lisbon, Portugal

In Autumn 2007 I made a brief visit to Lisbon to attend a conference. Unfortunately that meant only a limited time to explore. I did manage to wander the cobbled streets and hills of this great place.

This was only my second time in Portugal so I felt somewhat deprived that I could not see more of this lovely country

I decided to book another trip for June 2009 and arranged to meet D in Porto, we would take ariver  trip along the Duero, then I would go by train alone to the Algarve, stopping along the way at various interesting points but this did not happen. Following a minor accident and medical set back I had to cancel

Now I am looking forward to Autumn 2010 in the Algarve, perhaps the setback was not so bad after all.
