Did you hear the foghorn in the Maritime Museum?

 Well I woke quite refreshed.  Kirk was up for a few hours in the middle of the night.  Met some Cali people at breakfast and then were on our way to explore Alfama.  We didn’t have big plans for the morning b/c we never know how we feel day 2 but off we went and ended up doing 11 miles today. 

We headed towards a few spots we wanted to see and stumbled upon some ruins and a church being redone. First major stop was the Castelo de Sao Jorge. Wow what a stunning view and impressive feat.  Built over hundreds of years, became a prison at one point and is now a tourist attraction.  I would say the castles we saw in Ireland and Scotland came with a bit more information out in the open.  This had very few signs or information but it was still stunning.  

Then of course we were starving! Octopus and Bacalhau.

Headed back to our hotel to cool off and get ready for Belem.  Took a multi car tram.  Missed getting tickets to Jeronimos Monastery unfortunately but made the most of it. Belem Tower, Monument of the Discovers and the Maritime Museum.  Rounded it out with another amazing dinner of octopus and salmon with Sagres beer and Matuse Wine.  

And of course!!!! 

But the foghorn was Kirk farting and it echoing in the museum.  Twice.  

As we got back to our hotel, after waiting 30 minutes for the tram that was supposed to be there in 10 and we got a bolt, we noticed all the young people heading towards the water where all the bars and fun was!  We are snug in bed.  Heading to Sintra tomorrow.
