Day 242: Lisbon: Monastery and the Waterfront

October 15, 2016

Today was a tough day to get through after getting no sleep last night. Normally I can sleep anywhere, but between crying babies, and an overweight woman who kept jumping herself awake next to me, I ended up with about 45 minutes. Can't stop me exploring a city though!

I started off walking down to the Tower of Belem, built in 1500s, which is just right along the waterfront, in a beautiful spot.

Nearby is the Jeronimo Monastery, built around the same time. It was huge, and luckily, by the time I got there, the weather was clearing up, so I got some brilliant blue skies!

I walked back along the waterfront for a couple of hours to the metro (didn't want to waste money on the train) which was just spectacular.
