<\/a>\nThe bridge on the approach to the city looks a lot like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco & also the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver.<\/p>\n
As we passed under the bridge we had a great view of the massive statue of Jesus on the opposite shore of the river. Apparently it was inspired by the famous statue of Jesus in Rio, Brazil.<\/p>\n
I took a bus tour of the city this afternoon. Our first stop was the statue. It is magnificent from a distance & even more so up close. Should be a good ride. Guess I’ll eat lightly tomorrow.<\/p>\n Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ships Position: 38\u00b042\u203249\u2033 N 9\u00b07\u203215\u2033 W Distance Traveled: 3,675 nautical miles.

\nThis location also gave us great views of the bridge that crosses the river back to Lisbon.
\n<\/a>
\nNext we drove around the city to see various historical and significant landmarks.
\n<\/a>
\nWe left the city just after sunset. I wish we could have spent more time in Lisbon. It’s certainly a place that I would really like to come back to & stay for a week or two.

\nTomorrow we spend a full day at sea & will arrive in Bilbao on Wednesday. The Captain announced that we will be encountering high winds gusting over 60 knots & waves 4 meters or higher for part of the day.<\/p>\n
