Rainy Day in Beja, so we quickly pack up and try to venture into town for some breakfast. We found what we needed but got drenched in the process. Fortunately, we heard the weather was better at our destination in Lisbon.
We headed out of town and stopped for a pizza lunch along the way before arriving at our final campsite in the city of Lisbon. Oddly, this city campground turned out to be the nicest commercial campground we came across on our travels – but it was much more expensive than the others.
The campground was located in one of Lisbon’s largest city parks and there were hiking trails going from place to place. We explored a few loops before returning to the campground to freshen up for the evening. Some of us swam in the freezing pool before we headed back into downtown Lisbon for one last dinner together.
It was Saturday night and the streets were packed. Driving the big campervan through the busy streets and finding parking was very tricky. Eventually, we found a spot a good mile away from the restaurant, but some entrepreneurial scammers were charging for parking and pocketing the proceeds there. We just paid them anyway because we were out of options.
We took a hike back up to the Indian restaurant that didn’t actually sell Indian food and had our feast. The dinner was the best we had all week. I knew Portuguese food could be very good and tasty from my experiences with Portuguese restaurant in other parts of the world, and this place confirmed that. We were all very happy with our meals and stopped for ice cream down the street on our way back to the car.
