Our trip is almost over – we fly home tomorrow morning. We didn’t want to worry about early morning traffic getting to the airport, so we booked an airport hotel for tonight, and as a result we had a quiet day with very little walking. On our way back from dinner last night (walking, of course) we stopped at a scenic lookout and admired the view out over Baixa, Lisboa.

We checked out of the apartment at noon, and by the time we arrived at the airport hotel our room was ready. After a limited unpacking we walked over to the airport to check out the route for tomorrow morning – we wanted to see if we should take the shuttle (usually very crowded) or walk. It’s only a seven minute walk and even with luggage in tow, you won’t be surprised to hear that we’re going to walk.

During our stay in Lisboa we saw more and more Christmas decorations being put up. Very few lights yet (thankfully) but still… it’s not even the middle of November. And when we checked into the hotel today we were greeted with this!

This is just wrong.

Tomorrow we’ll be flying all day, and then it’s back to our own bed. At least until our next trip.
