14.5. We did small stuff on the boat and took it easy. The wind is still strong and from the north so we bought train tickets to Lisboa for the next day and booked a hotel room for one night.

15.5. Morning train to Lisboa. The city is nice with a lot of narrow streets that go up and down in the old part of the town. we walked around for hours and took a ride on a tiny tram that goes around the old city. The hotel was old but for 53 € it was a bargain. In the evening we again noticed that the world is small. Nina bumped into one of our old friends from Tigs. He had left the boat the day before to spend a few days in Lisboa before going back home to Finland. By a remarkable coincidence he was staying at the same hotel with us.

16.5. We and our friend from Tigs took the sightseeing bus around the town for a few hours and spent the rest of the day sightseeing before taking the train back to Fig da Foz. We were greeted by heavy rain and had to take a taxi to the marina which was a kilometer away. The taxi took 3,25€.

17.5. The weather is very unstable. Strong gusts with heavy showers. We paid the marina bill and tomorrow we will top the fuel and water tanks to get us ready to leave on Sunday. The weather prognosis shows some rain for the next week but the wind is going to ease on Saturday for the next six days
