Our last port day :( We arrived on time, but at a different berth, which was nearer the centre than the last time I cruised here. The six of us decided to take the hoho bus. We paid €25 and we had an open top bus to Belem and back, a tram your round old Lisbon and a ride on an elevador.
The first bus ride wasn't so good, as there was a marathon or some such race in and some roads were closed. Also, the driver forgot to turn on the commentary for the first 20 minutes or so. After this we had a coffee and hit the Internet for a while. Then we went on the tram tour and returned to the same square where we'd had coffee, but this time for lunch in a different cafe. Then we had a ride on the Elevador Santa Justa (basically a lift) to see the views. Then it was back to the Aurora for our final Sailaway.
This was the Great British Sailaway and was great fun. What's more, we actually had the Sailaway as we sailed away! We sailed under the April 25 bridge during the Sailaway. We won another bottle of wine in the Syndicate Quiz, which we gave to Rosemary and Veronica.
Another good port day, with great weather. We hit the Atlantic a couple of hours after leaving Lisbon, and it's noticeable. Apparently tomorrow will be fairly choppy, we'll see!
