It’s the first day starting with sunshine – good for visiting two world culture heritage places: the Jerónimos Monastery (pt. Mosteiro dos Jeronimos) and the tower of Belém (pt. Torre des Belém). Both buildings had survived the big earthquake of 1755. Nevertheless the fortified lighthouse is only a replica build in 1846 as the original was destroyed by Napoleon’s invasion.

After some shopping a visit to the old castle San Jorge is due which looms over our flat only 200 m airline 90 meters above us, around 900 meter to walk.

The day starts again with rain, really heavy rain. So what should we do? Visit the ozeanium, of course, as we are very fond of aquariums (therefore we visit each year in Denmark the ocean museum in Esbjerg)!
