Rest of the week was spent mainly in the office and on the WebSummit. The time that wasn’t spent in those two places we were trying to locate restaurants, where the food is not drowning in oil (fairly failed attempt!), walked up the stairs and serpentines in Alfama to get fresh fruit ice creams (totally succeeded attempt) and went for runs.
One night we realized that the sun is setting in 20 minutes and the prime spot to watch it is just few steps from us. We put the sneakers on, grabbed the cameras and ran to the river. Made it there just in time to see half the sun under the bridge.
Few days later we decided to make a better planned attempt and googled the best sunsetwatchplatforms. After all we did stay right in Alfama, which is located on the hill and should offer us all the breathtaking sunset views. We walked to the most promising platform just to find out that you can watch anything but the setting sun there.
The rule is here that you enter the buses through front door. Near the front there are also the validators, where you need to swipe your ticket. One morning we happened to be in the bus stop in the rush hour and once the bus arrived, us trying to enter through front door would have looked like the best example of Indian transportation, where the people are in the bus, on the bus and hanging from sides and back. The situation by all other doors looked much spacier and we entered through center door. Probably having never seen such a chutzpah an elderly man went off to tell us for the next five minutes in Portuguese, what he thinks of us. After he left, one helpful guy summarized the tirade in English that we are damn communists, who just want to take advantage of the public transportation in Lisbon and ride for free.
