Lisbon, Portugal

 After a rocky couple of weeks of tummy bugs, tiredness, then realising MJ's passport was out of date and Cal also needing one, we finally made it to Lisbon.

 20 Rue de Gaveas. Our first experience of Airbnb. Owned and renovated by architects SAMF, the apartment was small but inspirational in its interior design.

Our weather was mixed. Torrential rain and sunshine but it is a city with enough to do whatever the weather.

 Lj at the Story Centre, Lisbon. The story of Lisbon really comes to life and is presented perfectly for children and adults.

MJ and Calvin at the Oceanaria.
We especially enjoyed the Oceanaria, Science Museum and Lisbon Story centre.


After a 4 hr delay, we finally made it home, tired but re inspired by the energy of city life.
