We just got back from Lisbon late on Thursday night, after spending a week there. It was a good break -- nicely relaxing, warm, yummy food, walks about town... Sounds good eh? Travelling with 2 kids was a bit more challenging, but still managable esp with a very helpful hubby along.

We'd generally have a lazy-ish morning in the hotel, only heading out at about 10am after breakfast, feeding the kids, etc. And then get back by about 3 to 4pm for a nap and some bumming. Despite the rather relaxed schedule, we still managed to see quite a few of the sights since we were there for a whole week. It's definitely a pretty city but a little hilly for a pram. Plenty to keep us occupied, and as you can see from the pictures, the weather was great. Sigh, but now we're back in chilly gloomy London again...
