Padrão dos Descobrimentos - Lisbon - Portugal

It really is this stunning.

Finally made the move back to local superettes as the large soulless horrors were getting me down. They are fantastic but once in you could be in any mall in the world or even Riccarton Mall in Christchurch. The local here is well stocked except for gluten free and a quick ride by bike. Bike this morning was definitely light on the front wheel with eight litres of milk in the carrier

plus six litres of water hanging by cable tie, off the back.

Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Monument of the Discoveries) is a Lisbon must see and certainly was for Jacqueline so armed with filled rolls we visited. It is absolutely beautiful with lovely parks nearby.

While we took in the surroundings, Roman took in a young man with a drone and ended up flying it for about ten minutes, mostly over the water.  Fyfe gravely informed us that the drone cost over one thousand euros and that we would have to pay for it if Roman crashed it.

We then walked the local area, suckedin by one shop, very taken with the Jerónimos Monastery  which is now a Nautical Museum. Hoping to visit tomorrow.

At the end of the monastery is a wonderful church that is more like a cathedral, the Church Santa Maria de Belém, for some reason, had a lovely feeling to it. Not at all like most which, for me, give a sense of foreboding.

Like all travel, the day finished with a thick shake and toilet at MacDonalds.
