The Visit to Lisbon, Portugal, Part 3:Lisbon Cathedral

Now this one came as a surprise. 

After managing to visit Placio del Comerzio, I almost returned back.  Ready to call it a night,  you know?

But then something happened. 

There I was,  sitting at the Metro station,  and the train was coming. 

I looked up before it blocked my view of the sign. The name of the station rang a bell. 

After a while, it came to me. The Lisbon Cathedral was supposed to be close to this stop. Another major landmark which I had wanted to see. And it was accessible. I really could go and see it.

So as the train pulled into the station, I got up like everyone else did. Except I didn't actually get on the train. 

Instead, I headed out of the Metro station and went looking for it.

Asked a Metro worker, who pointed it out to me. That it was maybe a 15 minute walk at most. 

Needless to say, I went. 

Now, I was beginning to really feel like I had made the most of a challenging situation. Faced with some difficult circumstances which were beyond my control, I had still tried to overcome the best that I could & make the most of my visit. Think it's fair to suggest that, under the circumstances, I did okay. 

After the admittedly brief visit, I decided to treat myself to a sidewalk café dinner. 

My visit to Lisbon was already coming to an end. 

Yet, I was feeling better about it by the end. 

Below are some pictures that I took of Lisbon Cathedral. 

Enjoy.
