Electrico 28
Thursday July 20, 2006
Yowhey some news from Lissabon. The last few days have been quite busy with the HPCEP course and so on. Actually most of the city is now discovered
But day by day you find new things to enjoy. So we had a ride on the tourist attraction Electrico 28 – the famous tram in the oldest part of Lisbon. If you take it, it is like a rollecoaster ride! Up and down through small streets – sometimes you think it will hit the next house when it approaches a curve with full speed … When you come to Lisbon, I suggest you to catch the 28 at Martin Moniz and ride it to Baixa. You will have a nice ride around the Castle of Sao Jorge passing the Cathederal and Rua Augusta up to the Baixa. But be aware of pockets! Many thieves are around in the 28!
We also visited the famous Jeronimus Monestary – Especially its cloister is worth visiting!
