So. Since we slacked off our tourism the last two days we thought we would get back on the horse - at least, the hop on hop off bus. What a disappointment!! We headed to the top and plugged in. Nothing but music. On any channel! For an HOUR!! I took some pictures along the way, but I couldn't figure out where we were from the map, so I finally went downstairs and asked the driver which channel was English and before climbing back up, plugged in downstairs. And there was sound..the spoken word.. In very bad English. So we stayed on the bus til we returned to the port and wrote off the day. At dinner we spoke with one of our table mates, who said that Lisbon was as bad as Porto today, so we have now written off not just Lisbon and Porto but hop on hop off buses. We'll stick with live people as guides. The day wasn't a total loss, I got a pedicure when back on the ship, and mentioned that I needed to find someone to dye my eyebrows (they're now white!) and she told me the hairdresser on the ship could do it for me. The ship started rocking and rolling again tonight so we are staying in... I downloaded the Women's Murder Club mystery series by James Patterson and I'm working my way through it. So a night in the cabin is not a punishment!
