Corinthia Hotel, Lisbon

A back blip of our first night in Lisbon - it was dark when we arrived so we just popped out to a local Chinese for a meal (it was the nearest eating venue) and wandered back to the hotel - look at the temperature 12 degrees C at 11.30!!! It was a very stressful day and as they say things always happen in 3's:-

1. I somehow picked up the wrong bag at the airport and didn't notice until I went to unlock it - suffice to say a quick dask back which luckily wasn't too long to drive and my bad was looking very lonely going round teh belt on its own - but at least it was there and obviously the owner of the bag I had would have been happy to receive their bag back!

2. D locked his bag and couldn't remember what code he'd used - but luckily the next morning he remembered.

3. I somehow shut the front door (in our mad rush) and left the key on the other side therefore when dad went to feed Apache he couldn't get in - but when I returned their call I realised immediately what had happened. So (yet again) the locksmith (well it has been just over 2 years since the last time something like this happened) had to be called and an expensive new lock was needed *sigh* - poor Apache wasn't too happy as he had to make do with something pushed through the letter box until Saturday afternoon :)

.... other than that we had a great and much needed break :)
