Our last port of call on the cruise, and one that sounds interesting. We had breakfast in the Palms, sitting right at the back with a view over the swimming pool. We could see the land getting larger, and after breakfast I went onto deck to see, and photograph, our approach into the port. It was sunny, but cold, and by the time we eventually docked I was freezing. Mum came and joined me for the latter part of the process, and we watched the seamen attaching the many huge ropes which hold us secure whilst in port. Apparently we had had an emergency medical evacuation in the night, which had delayed our entry into Lisbon by some hours, leaving us a very short stay as we have to leave at 5pm for the final leg back to Southampton.
We were eventually moored by 10.40, and mum and I went back to our cabins for a warm up and a quick rest before our city tour this afternoon.
