Happily, no drilling and hammering today. They’re working, but elsewhere in the building, and not particularly noisily. Our two gulls make some attempt to compensate by arriving separately and loudly demanding to be fed. The older one is hilarious when we think he’s had enough and he begs to differ. Plenty of plaintive bird noises - and then he knocks with his beak beside the balcony door. Several times. Not pleased with the lack of response. Both birds are still there making unpleasant sounds at each other when we leave to go to the old town.
Go to the ticket shop where we purchased the coach tour to Lisbon and pay our €25 for a transfer to te airport on Saturday, encouraged by the fact that they want to pick us up three hours before the flight. Much better early than late. Roughly half the price of a taxi. Taxis not only charge an extra 20% on weekends, they actually have the cheek to add 80 cents if you summon them by phone! Home up the hills past restaurants pleased to do business whether you regard 4 PM as late lunch, early evening meal or happy hour. Note one that has compensated for the steep hill by extending the legs of the chairs on the downhill side of their tables!
