Sightseeing in Lisbon

On Saturday we spent most of the day sightseeing Lisbon as it was our only day to get it all done! We woke up somewhat early and had breakfast (it was actually free at the amazing hostel we stayed at called "Hostel Lemon Lisbon"). We mostly just wandered around the city all day, as we didn't know what the big sights to see were. We did find lots of great views of the city though, as the city is built almost entirely on very steep hills. This also made for a lot of walking and exhaustion, so by noon we had to stop for a coffee break and relax. Afterwards we took a tram back up into the hills to finish exploring.

A pretty view of Lisbon.

The rest of the day passed by quickly, and after lunch, we decided it would be fun to go ice skating in one of the squares we had passed. We did our best, but almost everyone fell down at least once. Most of the other girls are from places where ice skating is not very popular, and the ice skates were very awkward anyways (they were more like ski boots than ice skates!) Since we had worn ourselves out from all the skating, we decided to head straight to our next destination, which was good since we didn't make it to Porto until midnight that night!
