Hotel Avenida Palace
Taxi to Heathrow(taxi fare equivalent to 6 months earnings for me)-via TAP to Lisbon.Taxi to Hotel Avenida Palace-fine hotel from 19th century-chandelier in room thank God. Wander around Rossio square-lucky enough to catch a folk dancing(vertical) display-you can never hear too much castanet music.Sit in cafe-great coffe and even better Pasteis do Nata(custard tarts). Take vertical tram to Trinidad Cervezeria(brewery), then walk to lively part of town for dinner,stopping along the way for a shot of Ginja(cherry liqueur).Piri Piri chicken-sauce is served in an egg cup with a paintbrush-liquid fire!Not a patch on Nandos.Another shot of Ginja at the hotel and then to bed.
