Liberty International Airport n Newark New. Jersey turned out to have a pretty decent place to have a margarita or two. The Caliente Cab Co. has great staff and an even better bartender. Boy could she mix a drink! She particularly liked to free pour a highball. I think Shirene's vodka/soda had 3 oz of vodka and precious little soda. We had to order a separate glass of soda to mix in! Needless to say, we sorta dozed a bit before boarding the flight!
After a smooth 7 hour flight, Lisbon greeted us with balmy, breezy grey sky weather. Arriving so early meant our room wasn't ready for several hours. We took advantage of the spa to shower/change and get rid of the road travel dust...oh that felt soooooo good! Then off to explore.
I think every city in Europe has a hop on-hop off bus tour. We had a great time killing a couple of hours riding around getting the lay of the city and learning some history. The other here is Starbucks - perfect for a caffeine fix. Yes...I know I should have avoided what I buy at home but we couldn't find a cafe - really!
Then for SHOPPiNG!! Leather bags, shoes, jewelry....!! Trying to decide what won't push the severe weight limit restriction for the Morocco leg. Oh well, the souks await......
