Lisbon

In March we went for an extended weekend to Lisbon and we enjoyed the nice buildings and streets. The weather was variable; rain, clouds and sun changed often and very quickly, only a strong wind harassed, especially Irina couldn't stay outside for a long time.
The paving stones of Lisbon's pedestrian streets are very nice to see, but to pass through with a buggy can be really exhausting. However we managed it to see the most important things for example the Belem tower, Jeronimos monastery, Castle Sao Jorge, Cathedral, Alfama quater, Bairro Alto, etc. We visited some nice view points, had good food (especially desserts) and slept in a comfortable hotel in the center.
