This is an update from the road, coming direct from sunny Lisbon in Portugal. There's been a couple of gloriously sunny days here, with a warm sun providing 18+ temperatures even at night. It's also provided me with an mild dosage of sunburn, but I think I can put up with that.
The city seems to be built entirely on hills, and I'd swear there's not more than maybe 1 square metre of ground that is properly flat except for right at the water's edge. That said, the city is beautiful, and the hills give rise (ugh, that pun wasn't unintended) to some great hilltop vistas.
I'd post a photo, but I can't plug my computer into the computer I'm using - one which also has the incredibly irritating trait of beeping upon every keypress. So to avoid further aggravation, I'll keep it short.
Seaside towers, hilltop castles, a rush-hour that sees people honking horns near continuously, and some delicious culinary treats including great seafood and very tasty custard tarts. That's Lisbon in a nutshell.
