You don't actually jump on and off these.. leave the locals to it ;)

(Oct 1 07, 07:16)yeah definitely leave that for locals... falling off the tram+going face down on cobble stone+high chance of getting run over by a local taxi= not so much fun...

Its been a hectic couple of weeks so Ive only started to catch up on NT the past week or so. So...
Thanks for all the suggestions, they were kick ass!
Got fucked up on cheap-ass mojitos in Barrio Alto on the first night (the next day was a right-off! Had a delicious lunch in restaurant Eleven, on the hill overlooking Lisbon. Visited the Gulbenkian museum and the castle. Tried salted cod and other delicacies. Lisbon was one of the best city break I've taken in a long while! I gots loads of pics but I have to get me lomos developed.

did you go on the whole citywide tram rollercoaster thingy?
- ian0
Ah, myself and the missus really enjoyed it, both of us Had really bad colds going over though, think thats why the first night got us so bad (that and €3 cocktails!).
You were right about the walk into town, did it the first day 29+ heat, completey buggered us. But the metro is dead easy and cheap and the trams were cool. Really easy to find our way around but felt like we didn't even scratch the surface.
how long did you live there?
