Day 29..Lisbon day 1

after a bumpy overnite thru windy conditions along the Atlantic coast from the sail up from Cadiz we arrived at the mouth of the Tagus River and our approach to the city of Lisbon with a double rainbow greeting us in a brief rain shower...  the temps were nice at 65* with the sun and clouds mixing it up...  ..after we docked about noontime we decided to do another Hop On-Hop Off bus tour of the city...  we did two of the four routes as the winds picked up and the air became a bit kewler while riding the open upper level of the bus...our arrival back at the ship was after 4pm with a quick stop for some roasted chestnuts ..decided to have dinner onboard and then walked outside afterwards for some local pics and  to get some more chestnuts in front of the entrance to the Lisbon Railroad station just across from our ship's dock.. we have dubbed the resident 'chestnut man' the best chestnuts in all of Europe bar none and the cheapest at 2 Euros..  we will venture out tomorrow after our overnite stay in port..
