Night Train to Lisbon

We've been home from our European cruise for a week now.  This trip was, by design, laid back.  We knew we'd be spending many days on the ship so we prepared for it.  As it turned out, it rained the first few days so some of our port visits were short.

We were looking forward to Lisbon.  We've been there before so, this time, we wanted to go up and down the windy cobblestone streets without getting lost.  But it was raining the day we were there so we didn't spend as much time as we might have.  However, the gray day seemed right for Lisbon, a city full of intrigue.

One of the great things about our ship was the availability of films.  Everyday was movie day on the big screen in the theater and all of the films shown there, plus many more, were available on the large flat screens in our staterooms.

So, after spending a while in rainy Lisbon we went back to the ship and watched the excellent film Night Train to Lisbon staring Jeremy Irons.  It took us right back to where we'd just been.
