Ocenario de Lisboa visit

[Gill]

Apologies for the delay in posting these.
Been a very busy few days upon return. And a very poorly dog since Friday which took priority.

I spent 4 days in Lisbon this past week and thoroughly enjoyed my 1st Holiday Abroad since 2013. And my 1st Holiday without family, just me and my best friend.

I visited the Oceanario every evening from Saturday to Monday night. And took many pix and videos. I followed vloggers advice and went after 6pm, and thus some days I had it to myself.

Here's the pix and Videos I took. I tried to hold my breath as much a possible so not to overshadow the video, but there are a few seconds where you can here loud americans.
I did take a proper vlogging mount, but it kept losing connection and juddering alot. So dumped it.

If anyone knows how to remove the strobing my phone picks up please do tell.

It's well worth a visit, considering this was only meant to a be temporary installation. It is now permanent in memoriam to the Great Man.
There are direct flights from EMA and BHX so you could do this on an overnight trip, but def worth going after 6pm when NO CROWDs in this part. And from the airport only 10mins. If you are planning on Going please please please use Uber, its 95+% cheaper than the local taxis and tuktuks. A taxi from the Airport to Orient/Berlim @5 mins was 20Euros in Uber 4Euros.
And there are Very Very nice Eateries just a few mins walk for afterwards. I would highly recommend the Artisnal burger place Honarato, the burgers just melted bite after bite. Honest Greens was exceptional if you like Vegetarian super foods eating. I sadly reacted to the beet ketchup so spent the evening trying to cool my lips down with Ice.

And MaccyD is something else over there, its alot nicer and the burgers look handmade and cooked with care. Not slapped together like here in the Uk. Sadly only ate there once when visiting Belem.
And if you can go, Visit their 5th Avenue the Alvenida de Liberdada, the shops are exquisite and the level of customer service outstanding. Spent a small fortune but well worth it.

I can post the Marine separately as also caught the Sea Otter feeding one evening.

Thanks for the advice. Yes I’m very much into vegetarian super foods!
