One heck of a travel day! 0615 to LGA, hung out at the Crowne Plaza until about 2130 when I headed over to JFK to catch my TAP flight to Lisbon.
As my usual, no sleep on the plane and I think I was the only person who was not asleep. Never flown a A330 before, nice plane and very quiet.
Got in to LIS about 40 minutes early which was nice, got to my hotel in 5 minutes and cleaned up so I could head into the old town to look around. I have lots of pictures but there is some bug in my blog software that won´t let me upload pictures from my iPhone which is a real problem. Using a house PC here at the hotel which does not have all the US punctuation marks.
Old Lisbon is very interesting, apparently pot is legal here, 2 people offered it to me in broad daylight. Nice center, spent a little time walking around, I need to get out of here before rush hour I’m told. Enjoyed my walk and it started to ward off jet-lag.
Early flight to Bordeaux tomorrow morning then a bus to the train station where I catch my train to Saint Jean Pied de Port (SJPP) and arrive around 1500.
I´ll need to get my bearings quick as I need to round up some food, check the weather which looks like rain and cool right now as a huge storm hits this area, maybe snow in the mountains. Not many food or drink options on Day 1.
It´s going to be a long day on Friday but I´m ready to go.
