The final leg of my trip was to visit Lisbon. Getting to Lisbon was meant to be a “quick” train ride from Porto. Unfortunately, the train drivers decided to go on strike, so I ended up in a very long queue, for a very long bus trip for the 300km+ journey. When I arrived in Lisbon it was night instead of the originally planned mid-Afternoon

The following day was very sunny and I joined a walking tour of the city.

The following day was wet, but despite this, I headed out with the crowds to see Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra.

After catching the train back to Lisbon, it was time to head to the airport and return to Australia.
