Trans Atlantic Cruise - Lisbon

 Off on our first Transatlantic cruise.  Lisbon to New York City.  Spending 2 nights prior to the cruise in Lisbon.  Arrived to a rainy Lisbon, heard there has been lots of rain in Portugal the last couple of weeks, hope it improves for us quickly! 

2 week vacation, carry on luggage only, we are getting to be pros!

Never a quick change of gates in Toronto when flying International
 from Domestic
Been a while since we were given menu on a plane, and we are sitting at the back of the plane!

Pretzel snack in Frankfurt for our connection

Frankfurt Airport, liked the tower here




Landing in Lisboa!




View from the balcony of our hotel room



A nice welcome, well plastic flowers, and cheap white wine with no fridge in the room 



Happy Hour, first Aperol Spritz of the trip

Traditional Portuguese dinner.  Ate outside in the rainy misty weather

Rainy walk back to our hotel, worried about slippery cobblestone streets
