Lisbon - Waiting for the Eurovision Finals

We spent the day waiting for Eurovision Finals to start - an 8pm start meant we had all day!

After a long, slow, decadent morning, we took off to Óbidos, a small medieval fortress town, known for its cherry liqueur, ginjinha. It's about an hour North of Lisbon. Passing through town, we dropped off the delightful Vit, the first of our group to head home.

After Óbidos, we strolled through the flea market in Lisbon - I found a few items I had been looking for!
Purse made of Cork

My new coffee bowl, painted ceramic

Then we went back up to King Edouard VII park to see the giant Portuguese flag - fully unfurled this time!
