(Nov 16 07, 03:35)Ah, thats damn near where I stayed, we were just around the corner from the Gulbenkian and wandered down that street a few times (till we discovered the metro stop at the Cortes Engles at the top o the street. You were right, was a nice quiet area.

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.

I not dead, just takin a break baby!
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.
