So heres a little pictorial report on our time in Lisbao/lisbon Portugal. While here we made a point of making it to the Maritime Museum as requested by my dad which was well worth the visit. The capital is riddled with trams that climb the steep narrow streets of the city. Lisbon’s first impression on me was a little rough and grummby but it grew on us both by the second day when we ventured out and explored the city via its trams discovering its most stunning and charming qualities were simply in the streets and building that make the city.
