April 11

More time than I wanted texting back and forth with Airbnb.
Yogurt and strawberries cut with a carving knife for breakfast with added ‘fiber’.

Sintra

They added pics to my case file. At least I have one
Alarm 7:45
Awoke to Sore ankle.
Stretching time.. Hopefully works.
Too funny.. Got an Airbnb message about our 8:30 departure tomorrow. They want to make sure we are out on time for their cleaners!
Leisurely start coffee outside again with a takeaway cup. Up the tower at praca commercial. Beautiful views. The bell is going off on 2 minutes. We are inside. I hope our ears survive. I’m watching the gears. Nothing!
Off to find an Uber to The jewels.
Seat belt problem
Wrong end in wrong slot
Lock up belongings
Metal detector, X-ray, One at a time through rotating door
Trying to identify what the beautiful jewels are
for. so many pieces so little time. Had some lunch at the cafe. Walked to the botanical gardens… Not much in bloom but great trees.. Giant old ones, yucca, chestnut, peacocks.
Uber back to the praca and leisurely stroll home doing some shopping on the way.
Went to the apartment to recharge for a minute and ask Chatgpt where to go for pizza. We wittled our list down to Dama e Vagabundo.. Lady and the Tramp, a 2 minute walk, if you read the map right, no comment, and a local favorite. Only about 5 indoor tables but we were able to get seated immediately. We were not disappointed with our salads, risotto, and pizza. And for a sugar fix.. tiramisu.
Going home was truly 2 minutes.
Pack up to be ready for an early departure tomorrow. Finish off the wine bottle and an end to another perfect day.
