At some point, everybody had to get off the tram (?), so we looked around and there was a cemetery across the street. We decided to check it out. It can be interesting reading the names and looking at the headstones. This cemetery is known as "Prazeres" a name which apparently stems from the neighborhood, (but oddly translates as "pleasures"). It was unusual because it featured gigantic family-sized mausoleums in crowded rows, which in aggregate, looked like a little town. La di da. A town of dead people. I snapped a few pictures.
After lunch, we visited a Port wine tasting room in the Bairro Alta district. We tried some amazing Port. Good stuff. Super smooth.
Later on, we hopped on the metro to find Versailles Pastelaria, a longstanding favorite known for its attractive setting and delicious Portuguese pastries. It did not disappoint. Yum!
For dinner, we cooked a traditional portuguese-style dinner at our apartment. (there is a small kitchen). Nikki broiled dourado, a popular local fish, with salad and potatoes and we enjoyed some wine (tinto) from our hosts.
Good day!
