Day 16 - Nov 2, 2017 Last updated: 11/26/17 6:00pm PT
For breakfast, we found these tasty pastries filled with yellow cream of some kind. Not sure what they were, but they were good.
Today we went to the tile museum, which has old tiles on display. I’d call it an art museum, because these tiles were very artistic, painted tiles instead of painted canvas.
We also went to the Lisbon Oceanarium. It was pouring rain when we rode the bus there. The ticket line was under cover of a roof, so we stood there and bought our tickets. We realized we should eat lunch first, their cafeteria line was moving slowly, and it probably wasn’t good food anyway. So we left the Oceanarium (the rain had stopped at this point) and we found an all you can eat Brazilian buffet called Chimarrão. This is a restaurant where the waiters walk around to your table, each waiter holding a skewer with a large hunk of meat (of various cuts). They put the tip of the skewer on your plate and carve off slices of grilled meat at your table. It was very good. After all the grilled meat yesterday and today, we were ready for some salad.
