LISBON, PORTUGAL - Gorgeous day and City!
View off my balcony and port - Three other ships in town with us - we are smallest by far! And happy to be so! Don't need 10k people!
So many great ways to get around this city! Besides these there are buses, trolleys, hop on off bus, bikes. We opted for electric tuk tuk!
City sights
View from one of high spot in the center of island looking out toward port. Island very dry and arid with lots of divi trees bent over in the winds and two types of cactus - one edible and the other poisonous ( used to build fencing). The Miller's and I did a private van tour around the island and then we ended tour at a beach for a couple hours R&R. Our fabulous driver/ guide came back and picked us up and concluded tour back to port and gave us each a gift ( Bonaire magnet). She was super! Below are slat fields - a big industry for Bonaire - harvested every March. Salt shimmers in sun as the water evaporates in the pools.
