Scene: 5:45 AM - Hotel Ponta Delgada
*Alarm goes off*
"I don't waaaaaaannnnnnnnnaaa get up." grump grump grump. Up by 5:55.
End scene.
And with that illustrious start, we headed to the airport, sat around for an hour (we were the only ones there for the first 30 minutes of that hour), boarded a flight to Tercierra (another island in the Azores), and landed 45 minutes later. Our layover was pretty brief, and a 20+ person ensemble serenaded us while we waited and then again on the plane for Lisbon. The weather was pretty crappy this morning, so we were pretty excited to see that it was upper 60s and sunny in Lisbon, and should remain so for the duration of our stay.
We were able to check in right away at Whatever Art Bed and Breakfast. This is our room. And, there were peacocks on the back patio. In other words, life is good. We spent a little time getting settled in, and then headed off to find lunch and explore the City Center.
So far, I like what I see of Lisbon. After Ponta Delgada, the hustle and bustle is awesome, and it's been very pleasant to walk around thus far. Tomorrow, we're planning to go to the Belem area, which comes highly recommended by the Whatever proprietor, Carlos.
And now, despite the brief blog post, I need to go finish the last little bit of my book. Until tomorrow!
