We arrived in Lisbon on February 4 at around 11:00 a.m. We knew we'd be able to get on a normal sleeping schedule sooner if we stayed awake for the rest of the day. Even though a nap sounded great, we decided to explore our new city. We walked up a hill near our apartment and discovered this view.
The photo is from the top of Eduardo VII Park. The view is impressive, as you can see straight down to the Tejo river. We followed the city's main tree-lined avenue until we reached the baixa, the city's historic center, located right at the water's edge. All the sidewalks are cobblestone, and while we love the European feel, they can sometimes be tricky to walk on. We love being able to walk wherever we go after two years of taking taxis everywhere in Jakarta.
