Cape to Camino: All arrive in Lisbon, Portugal

As I write this, we are united again, on the luxury bus liner from Lisbon to Santiago.
Marelize, arrived yesterday (09/13) afternoon on an Emirates Airlines flight, I fetched her at the airport, and we took the Lisbon Underground, back to our hotel, Tryp, in Orient. I surprised her with "Melktertjies" and sparkling wine. The wine was bit of an disappointment, because as it poured into a non-Champaign glass, it was crimson red, and it's taste, well suffice to say after the first mouthful it went down the drain. It's the thought that counts right?
It was still a scorture outside, and we decided to visit the "Vasco da Gama " shopping centre, after which we went looking for a traveling tradition, on recommendation of my friend, Albie de Frey. We went looking for the local brew. We found a nice outside table on the banks of the Tagus river, and after studying the menu, ordered a glass of Super bock each. Mmm, just what the doctor ordered for such a hot afternoon.
Soon after the juices in out glasses dried, we felt the need for some food. Again we followed a trusted tradition, and moved to another restaurant. Sangria was the drink for the sun downer, and we both settled for the prawn rissotto curry, after my first choice, sword fish was not available. A sudden rush of tiredness overwhelmed us both, and we had to get up early this morning, to pack up our room and walk the 400m from the hotel to the bus station
