Lisbon | Wide Eyed In Wonder

This one is almost a no-brainer for me. Those who know me and have visited the pages of this blog before will know that Lisbon is one of my favourite cities. I love Lisbon and count myself lucky that I visit – often. Just not in the last year and a bit due to you-know-what. My last visit was in 2019 and these are some of the pics I took.

I was quite chuffed with these, taken as the plane was coming in to land. In the middle of the pic you can see the Padrão dos Descobrimentos.

The Which Way photo challenge is all about capturing the roads, walks, trails, rails, steps, signs, etc. we move from one place to another on.

Going through my photos to enter this challenge I came across this one which reminded me of one of my trips to Portugal.

This bridge is in Lisbon, the Ponte 25 de Abril over the Tejo River. My photos are the link I have at the moment to the wonderful places I visited and want to revisit. Lisbon, of course, is a home away from home for me. 2020 and probably 2021 will represent the longest I’ve gone without visiting Lisbon – and travel in general – in the last 10 years or so.

I’m fortunate to have the photos – one look at them is enough to transport me to that day, that moment or that experience – triggering the memories. That will have to do for now, until it’s safe to travel or I’ve received a vaccine. I suspect that those two things will occur at approximately the same time.
