Wednesday 6th December 2023
Woke today to a bright morning sailing up the Tagus passing under the bridge with views of the Christ statue.
Early enough today to join the virtual queue for the Aqua Restaurant for breakfast. Not so keen on this restaurant, will stick to the Coral or maybe the Pearl in future.
By now the lovely sunny start had disappeared and was now overcast. Even so off ashore for a short walk and a search of the shops.
Along the front, through the riverfront square, Praça do Comércio, and under the arched entrance to the town, Arco da Rua Augusta, to wander through the town.
Despite our best efforts to buy a souvenir glazed tile of Lisbon we couldn’t find any proper glazed tiles, all just transfers, as usual.
However we did find a nice shop to get our pasteis de nata.
Back to the ship for coffee and to eat a couple of pasties.
Relax till afternoon snacks in the buffet.
Announcement from the bridge of possible rough seas and high winds on our way back to Southampton.
Sailaway after dark allowing good views of Christmas decoration in the square and of the well lit Columbus monument and the Belem Tower
This evenings dinner in the buffet, Indian themed, very good curries and all the trimmings, Indian meals always good on P&O, the chefs mostly being of Indian origin.
