Ceisto Rei, Almada, Portugal - 11th November 2011
By: Eohippus
Olá de novo, mamã! (Hello again, mum!)
It has been raining many days and we sat in the library helping Henna in her studies like good little toyvoyagers.
But enough is enough, when the sun show up we escaped from the library trough a window..
[size=2We walked trough Almada. You can see the river Tejo behind the kitchen gardens and houses. [/size]
It is late autumn here too, mum, but it is a bit hard to believe!
This is the wall of a kindergarten.
I've already learned some numbers in portuguese!
1 = um/uma
2=dois/duas
3= trés
We came to the Tejo riverfront and saw the bridge that connects Almada to Lisbon.
We sat admiring the view over the river.
But then we noticed someone standing high up over this grey building..
We bought tickets and went up there too with an elevator.
We could see very far from there.
And we met the fellow who we had spotted standing up there. He told he was Cristo Rei and he had been standing there since 1951.
He said he was very happy to meet us - it was a long time since he had last seen cute plushies.
In this pic you can see the shadow of our new friend.
We spend there quuite a long time, trying to recognice some places we have been seeing from the bird perspective.
Then we said goodby to our new friend and went down again to see the little chapel there.
Outside was growing some olive trees.
We felt kinda hungry and went into a bar to eat something small..
And to taste some local wines.
We were singing a lot, even some fados, with some nice local people, and it was somewhat late when we got back home.
See you soon again, mum!
Kisses from Melek
