Day 58 my virgin e-bike experience

Today I booked a three hour, seven hills of Lisbon e-bike tour on the recommendation of a woman from Ballarat who's in the same facebook group as me "Solo in Style: Women Over 50 Travelling Solo & Loving It! There's been lots of solo women in Portugal posting on the group and when I get to the backlog of posts, you'll hear about my catch up with Sherry, a social worker from Calgary.

On the long walk to the meeting point, I contemplated the hazards of being in a city like Lisbon. I think it might have been sparked by the two low flying pidgeons that I had to quickly duck, not an unusual occurrence. Honestly, I think there's more chance of being hit by one of those than having an accident on that treacherous road I was on in the Algarve, the N125. There's also a much higher chance of slipping on the cobblestones, made more dangerous by the gradient of all seven+ hills. And even more of a problem as I'm looking at my phone and following the very unreliable offline maps.me directions. I am the tourist who is often going around in circles looking at the phone, taking a few steps, realising I'm now further away from my destination. I'm also the tourist whose undies keep going up their bum, the undies haven't shrunk, the bums gotten bigger!

So I can get all the not so great things off my chest in one post, there's so many smokers, dogs, cats, tourists, cyclists with no helmets, stinky toilets with no loo paper, garbage around the streets (the capital doesn't seem to have the same litter disposal options as the other places I've been) and heat. Today's early morning 19° at 8.20am, felt like high 20°s in Brisbane. And sadly the cost of postage. I enquired about sending a box of my stuff home. I observed they had 10kgs boxes while I was in the queue, a whopping €250! That's put a dampener on my shopping.

I haven't ridden an e-bike before and it seemed like fun, sadly we didn't really get a good go at riding, too many stops for the history lesson by the guide (I was the one with all the answers as the two other couples had only just arrived in the country), the traffic really slowed us down, as did Nancy from San Diego, who said she rides bikes all the time, but seemed to be an accident waiting to happen. There was only one hill that I didn't feel comfortable riding down, because we took off on the bloody hill. The rest of the way I was fine and only had the bike in turbo for the two big hills, one of those is the hill I’m staying on. There were some interesting sites, Lisbon's copy cat Golden Gate Bridge, Champs Élysées and Christ the Redeemer. Lisbon also has the longest European Bridge, at 17kms.

I asked one of the staff for a piri piri chicken recommendation. I thought I can't leave Portugal without making sure I'd actually tried piri piri, as the others were just bbq chicken without piri piri, To be honest, I think I could have asked for the piri piri on the side, as that's what I got at recommended Bonjardim. A very small 1/2 chicken and dry, semi warm chips and small mineral water was $25.43! The prices here are certainly more expensive. The Red Rooster quarter chicken and chips that Mum used to get us every Thursday night after supermarket shopping were a cut above. The waiter asked if I wanted to pay a tip, I said no! The American couple beside me asked me how the meal was. I told them honestly!

The rest of the afternoon I had a wander around the streets, filled with tourists. I took a look at Pink Street, which was really a very small strip with restaurants and got asked on the way in by two dudes "sniff or weed"! I had specialty coffee, noting the flat white was cheaper than the latte and two scoops of gelato. I told the guy who served me that I was going to take a seat, and he said I stay until closing at 6.30. I did suggest he could go on a break and leave me to manage things. I was happy to stop walking up hills and escape the heat. If he'd have taken me up on the offer, I really would have done it!

Downtown

Wir starten gemütlich in den Tag. Selbstverständlich mit dem Handicap, das uns seit Jahren begleitet: Kilian ist ein schlechter traditioneller Frühstücker und braucht am Vormittag etwas Heißes und Fettiges, Louisa schließt sich inzwischen etwas an. Wie gut, dass unser airbnb nur 20 Minuten von der Innenstadt entfernt ist (zufällig!) und wir dort direkt auf einen neuen kleinen Markt stoßen. Kilian holt sich ein Falafel, Louisa beginnt den Tag direkt mit indischem Butter Chicken. Die Eltern haben inzwischen aufgehört sich zu fragen, warum es nicht einfach ein Marmeladentoast sein kann ... Um uns herum machen unter anderem Arbeiter ihre Pause, ein Sichler sucht nach Essensresten und der Straßenmsiker ist garnicht schlecht.

Die Innenstadt ist eine schöne Mischung aus alten Gebäuden, neuen Wolkenkratzern, dazwischen Palmen, Sehr gepflegt, aber nicht zu schick. Gefällt uns sogar besser als Melbourne, falls man das nach den paar Stunden schon sagen kann. An einer Stelle wird ein Podium für eine Kundgebung aufgebaut (vermutlich irgendwas mit den Rechten der Aborigines), aber die Reiseleitung wird von der Familie direkt weitergezogen ... Dann eine Menschenansammlung. Eine Demonstration? Nein, Mittagspause der Arbeitnehmer in der Innenstadt.

In der St. Johns Chathedral wird gerade der Mittagsgottesdient vorbereitet und es erklingt Klavierspiel, in der kleinen, alten Kathedrale von St. Stephen ist gerade eine bilderreiche Bibelstunde. Wir huschen erst danach kurz rein. Kleiner Kaffeestopp, dann geht es weiter bis in den botanischen Garten. Es gibt den kleinen, ursprünglichen in der Innnenstadt, die Erweiterung ist etwas außerhalb. Was bei uns Tauben und Spatzen sind, sind hier unter anderem die Sichler und Papageien. Außerdem sichten wir eine Wasseragame. Auf einem großen Rasen werden unter Palmen Fitnessübungen absolviert, zwei Fußballer versuchen sich an der Aufnahme eines Tiktok-Videos (und scheitern).

Das Old Government House ist inzwischen Teil der Uni. Auf dem Campus ist einiges los, neben an wird ein Gelände für ein Rockkonzert vorbereitet und die Vorgaben (leider kein Foto) klingen für das entspannte Australien ziemlich unentspannt.

Unser Weg führt über die Goodwill-Bridge, eine Fußgängerbrücke, auf der auch die E-Roller-Fahrer brausen, natürlich mit Helm. Dann bummeln wir an der South Bank entlang. Hier fand 1988 die Weltausstellung Expo statt, jetzt ist es ein Juwel an Naherholung. Eine nepalische Pagode erinnert an Weltläufigkeit, es gibt wieder eine große, kostenlose Badelagune, ein Stück Regenwald, BBQ-Stationen ... warum funktioniert so etwas bei uns nicht? An der Bevölkerungsdichte kann es nicht liegen Brisbane ist eine multikulturelle Millionenstadt.

Wir bleiben im (kostenlosen...) Queenslandmuseum, bis uns fast die Augen im Stehen zufallen. Da wir auf Dinos gerade keine Lust hatten, haben wir uns auf die Tierwelt des Landes konzentriert. Die First Nation Abteilung ist gerade wegen Umbau geschlossen - und es derzeit wirklich nicht leicht, Aboriginal-Kultur mitzubekommen. Das große Zentrum in Cairns ist seit Corona dicht, das andere große Zentrum in Rockhampton hatte Öffnungszeiten, die mit unserer Route nicht kompatibel waren, die Gallerie in Port Douglas war im umbau. etcetcetc. Als wir zum Apartment wollen, nieselt es - also noch kurz ein Kaffee im Museumscafé. Danach wird eine Runde gechillt und die Waschmaschine darf arbeiten.

Abendessen gibt es ein paar Straßenzüge weiter im Birds Nest, einem japanischen Yakatori-Restaurant, was - wenn wir das richtig verstehen - vor allem heißt, dass man Spießchen bestellt, die am Holzkohlegrill zubereitet werden. Unsere männliche Bedienung versteht kaum englisch, wir sind dafür sehr beschäftigt, alles, auch das gegarte Ei, mit Stäbchen zu essen - und probieren uns durch die Karte. Viele kleine Speisen, nach denen wir dennoch pappsatt sind. Sehr lecker. Vor allem Kilian ist im Glück, asiatisch schmeckt ihm quasi alles. Könnte zum Frühstück direkt so weitergehen,

Day 2: Friday June 24rd, 2022

Breakfast: BBQ chicken with wild rice and spicy onion chutney Lunch: Charcuterie board with a glass of rose Dinner: Fish and chips

Steps: 12, 960

Woke up still on a plane – it was starting to feel like this was my life now. Sitting next to Tim, watching movies with tiny meals brought to us every few hours. I was getting over it. I slept for about 5 hours on the plane, which was nice and woke up at around halfway through the flight. I tried to watch Jungle Cruise, but was still sleepy, so dosed off again. We got woken up for food and them I sporadically napped and watched stuff on the in-flight TV for the remainder of the flight.

We finally touched down in Paris at 9.30am – 25 minutes earlier than planned – but then sat on the plane waiting to disembark for half an hour. Once off the plane, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and then we headed to baggage claim. Our bags weren’t there. There were about 30 people from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane on our flight who had all failed to collect their bags and we were all starting to get frustrated after 30 minutes of seeing the same uncollected bags rotate around on the belt. We started lining up at the baggage claim info desk when another batch of bags randomly appeared on the belt and all of our stuff was there – woohoo! Tim and I were going to catch the bus out to Paris and picked up a fellow Australian who decided to follow us, but when we got there the line to buy a ticket was about 200 people long and I was getting over waiting, so I booked us an Uber instead. It cost 56 Euro ($85) for a 55 minute trip but I was glad to just sit back and be taken to our accommodation.

Amara met us on the street outside our apartment and was glad to see us as she’d been travelling solo for the last week. She was also glad as she’d been arguing with the owner of the apartment because the apartment was in very poor form. The shower didn’t work, the slats on one of the beds were broken, the dishwasher and washing machine didn’t work and one of the floorboards was loose. Goodness me. She had tried to ask for maintenance to visit, but they had failed to do so and the owner was refusing a refund. We called again and they finally sent 2 Polish boys out to fix the bed and fiddle with the water pressure. One of them said that the shower was ‘kaput’ and ‘impossible’ to fix – those words will be the title of our review. We were trying to decide if it was worth bailing and going somewhere else, but once they were fixed, we decided to stay.

We left the apartment at around 4pm to go for a wonder. We went straight to a restaurant on Rue de Edgar and got a celebratory charcuterie board and a bottle of rose. 5 minutes in, it started bucketing down – the whole street looked very put out – and we moved inside. We caught up on Amara’s trip so far and told her about our flight.

We then ventured forth to the main part of Paris, turned right randomly and COULD SEE THE EIFFEL TOWER! What a treat! She was far away, but she was definitely there! We walked along the Seine and booked a ferry tour that showed us some of the main monuments – the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and others. We had an Aperol Spritz before boarding and revelled in finally being overseas. It was beautiful weather. We sat on the roof seating and took a ridiculous amount of photos. We’ll go back to see these monuments, but it was nice to see them all in quick succession on the water. After the ferry, we walked around and found a bar to have a snack. We had some bruschetta, tortilla chips with guacamole (so french!) and a cocktail.

Afterwards, I bought some postcards from a tourist shop to send home and we went back to the apartment to change into something warmer as it had cooled down. Tim and Amara relaxed and I had a quick 20 minute nap. We headed back out and found a French restaurant two blocks away from our apartment. Tim and Amara had snails and shared duck l’orange and I had fish and chips. Everything was delish! We were all exhausted by this point and headed home to go to bed. We were all asleep by 9.45pm. What a day!

Day 17 Several photographic perspectives on a cruise ship

I woke up this morning and as usual looked out the balcony windows, and did a double take, A huge cruise liner backing in to dock! According to some people I randomly spoke to later in the day, there were two yesterday, but I missed them as I was out of town. Today's plan was to collect my tiles and then there was no plan. I was going to have dinner with Rosie (of Halifax) tonight, but she wasn't feeling well, so we've delayed until tomorrow night.

I decided to go to the Marina to see if I could catch the water taxi across to Ferragudo with no expectations, as there wasn't much info online. Their last post in February saying they were back from their Christmas break. So for a start, I confidently headed in the wrong direction! Luckily I asked a lovely looking man early, as it was heating up outside. Once I got to the point I realised I had to ring to book. The man on the other end of the phone said "it is a taxi!" I'm sure he was thinking "stupid tourist!"

It was a pleasant crossing to Ferragudo (€9 return) and I was warmly met by the lovely Carla, the tile painting teacher. We had a brief chat about her upcoming holiday to Shanghai, she shared more food recommendations with me, gave me a hug and I was on my way.

While I waited for the return ferry I caught a glimpse of the life of the local fishermen. It was fascinating watching their weathered bodies. The men who caught the fish left their small vessel soon after docking and different men then pulled the nets off the boat and untangled the fish. I have no doubt some of that fish would be served locally, the coals were burning on BBQs nearby.

Given the water taxi could drop me off closer to town, my plan was then to try the old world, charming looking, Casa da Isabella for their traditional Portuguese cakes, but sadly they were closed (they were open yesterday, hmmm). I then diverted to find a dress shop I'd been in a few days ago, as I'd noticed a pleated tule skirt that I wanted to try on. And sold!

I then decided an early lunch would be good and went to the highly recommended Churrasqueira Guerreiro for piri piri chicken, but they are still closed for the holidays, omg! Ok, next stop Aqua Mall for the café in the supermarket, which is a thing here. And I wasn't disappointed, I had a pretty delicious amount of smoked salmon in a grain roll and a pastel de nata tarte for €5.19! And then another stop at the discounted section of that supermarket, damn they've run out of the dark chocolate brown rice cakes, so I purchased the dark chocolate oat rice cakes, €1 for 8 in each packet. They're quite addictive.

I spent the next hour or so finding a top and earrings to go with my new tule skirt and pending the weather I may wear it on my date with Rosie tomorrow night or save it for the Michelin star restaurant I've booked in a couple of weeks. The weather is quite warm during the day, ie I felt sweat running down my legs waiting for the water taxi at 10.15am, but then I just had the heaters on!

I've given up on decent coffee in Portimaõ. The best I can do to replicate a latte in Australia is to ask for a cappuccino with no chocolate at 67° and then I even forget my own instructions!

After getting the opening hours of the mercado wrong, I head to Crystal's recommended hairdresser. Crystal was the American woman I met with Brenda last week at The Chicken Tavern. Giselle can fit me in on 4th May and a regrowth is just €29.

Back to the gym, booked into Ricardo's TRX class, but Ricardo is not there, damn that. I will get that photo soon.

I've finished Scoop, now onto The Beautiful Game.

Tomorrow I have my much needed third Portuguese lesson in Alvor. Just to properly pronounce the names of each village in the Algarve would be helpful! Apparently learning new skills is useful as we age. I'm thinking maybe I'll find a language school in Brisbane. After Carla reminded me today that Macau used to be under Portuguese administration until 1999, I googled where Portuguese is spoken and some of these places are on my list....Portuguese is currently the fifth most spoken language in the world and an official language of Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe and East Timor. It is also used in Macau and in Goa.

Talking about new skills and thrills, I've booked a sea kayak experience next Tuesday at 7am with Filipe Tidy to go into the Benagil Caves. He was another recommendation off a FB post. The woman said her kayak flipped and she lost her phone into the ocean. That's not exactly the experience I'm paying for. I did have some text banter with Filipe today and he thinks, given they are double kayaks "probably you join me". And he said "until now everyone survived" and then he said "I am lifeguard so you lucky". I responded with "I'll probably die from a heart attack first after all the bread and cheese and oil I've eaten".
