With a temperature by the water of 39 degrees it was an early start to the day by walking through the beautiful city of Lisboa. We stopped at the oldest church in Lisbon, Se De Lisboa (1147) while on our way up the hilltop to Castelo de S. Jorge. The castle was built in by the Moors in the 11th century. With 11 towers, it offers amazing views of the city and the Rio Tejo (River Tagus). As the heat crept up, we joined the hop on/ off bus to take in the sites of the city, most notable Belem. Unfortunately it is closed on Mondays. I guess it means I will have to come back to Lisbon and explore the inside of the buildings from the 15th century and maybe a day to take in the missed town of Sintra.
