Val Sounded like another lovely walkabout in Cascais and of course a very romantic Valentine’s Day…getting drenched by a wave 🌊 However I’m sure the brandy helped you warm up again.

LINDA LAUGHLIN I enjoyed Belem on a day trip but sounds like the perfect place to stay. Great about the Dublin choir!
Glynis We were lucky to hear those mid-late teen kids playing, they truly were the best of the best! One of their teacher/chaperones told us that many of them are already heading to some very good adult orchestras….I’ll messsge you a video of their playing as can’t post here. We loved the research and ethically thinking of the “basket” museum! X g
Glynis The hike up the track was challenging, Val but maybe not as dangerous as it sounds. It was easy to hear the trams coming + everyone else who was walking up on the road moved away from the tracks We did find the elevators a bit hard to find althiugh one was actually in a shopping mall, but it did the job!

re: The neighbourhoods of Lisbon - Part 1Val I think both of you will be buying mountain climbing apparel for your next adventure as I am exhausted just reading about your hike up the side of the track … which is right NEXT to the funicular! Finding the funicular/elevator positions would be our 2nd most important thing on the agenda…the 1st of course being the GF restos 😂
re: The neighbourhoods of Lisbon - Part 1Glynis It was a great day, Val and the wave didn’t dampen it - even though I had to go home with only the slicker on the top part of my body😱 The brandy did really help though! Thanks for supporting my blog-ing X

re: Valentine’s Day at the seasideGlynis Belém is a great place and we really enjoyed our stay there, Maybe you’ll be to hear the youth orchestra (no choir) when you’re in Dublin later this year I can’t post a video on this site, but will send you one…it was a fortunate time and day for out visit! x

re: Wanderings in BelémVa You & Trev were so lucky to hear the Dublin Youth Orchestra on your Royal Coach Museum visit especially from an acoustic perspective! It helped make up for the drizzly, windy weather you have experienced. I would aso have enjoyed the basket weaving Museum as it sounded ineresting & I’m sure impressively artistic. It’s great that they are studying the sustainability of wood. Forward thinking. Righty ho…off you go on your next adventure. Val xoxo
