9 Sept - Monday night Lisbon hotel and first night (optional)dinner



We checked into the beautiful Marriott at Lisbon and couldn't believe our luck.  A lovely big bed with big fluffy pillows- not like the "thin long BBQ sausages" we have had up to this point. We also had a balcony overlooking the pool that sparkled in the hot sun.


I noticed this sign near reception desk.  Perhaps I should get some of the symbols put on a T shirt for J?



When we saw the pool and the sunshine we felt like lazing around the pool.  However I (rather J because Spanish J wasn't really interested in what I might want), had booked us in for an optional seafood dinner that evening so there wasn't time for swimming or lazing.
Seafood dinner

A lovely night at a casual eatery by the river just a few yards from the public ferry we caught -with lots of everything.


I liked the casual /local setting.  It was very enjoyable. 

Along the way, we felt a little bit like home as Lisbon has big and small trams

Spanish J (who else) took this perfect photo of J (and I look ok too with closed eyes)
