Made It To The Douro!
 
Loved Lisbon (nice emergency room where I spent a quality few hours). Great food evetywhere.

Sintra, as magical and crowded as I expected

Really enjoyed Tomar and Coimbra, although their students need muzzles at night.

So many great meals that I might sink our Rabelo boat when I climb aboard.

just arrived at Quinta de la Rosa (photo from reception below). Would post more but it’s Douro Happy Hour.

Emergency room? Oh no!

ER, no Tom!

Glad to hear you are enjoying Portugal and that you loved Lisbon, one of my favorite cities.
ER, oh no!!! You will have to fill us in on the exciting details!

Say it isn’t so Maitai! Not another tour of the local ER😳

Glad to hear you’ve survived and made it to the Douro! Leave it to you to include the ER in your travels!

I think you need to do a trip report on the ERs you’ve had the “pleasure” of visiting.

Stay well and enjoy the rest of your trip!

Debbielynn Oct 2nd, 2022 08:07 AM

I agree with Progol. Maybe a comparison of the different health systems!

Not jealous of the ER visit but Portugal…yes. We loved Sintra!

HappyTrvlr Oct 2nd, 2022 02:20 PM

Maybe there will be an “ERs you visited in Europe” post in Fodors! It was very a different experience for me, and so inexpensive,3€!

How many Pasteis de Nata (egg tarts) did you consume?
I stopped counting when I hit #6 in one day.

Loved Portugal, Cascais was our favorite town.
I’ll be watching for the rest of your report.

here we go

Thought I'd give you a little look a-head at one of the photos of the upcoming Trip Report. Portugal was unlike any country we visited and we all have ideas on our different impressions of the country and each city we visited and the sights we saw. Gotta finish Glasgow first, however.

OMG, what happened????

Maribel Oct 11th, 2022 12:58 PM

Oh, tom, I'm sooooo sorry!

TPAYT Oct 11th, 2022 01:49 PM

Ouch! What happened to your head? I thought you were done with European ER visits.
Hope you healed up fast!

Have you kept all those ER wristbands from all over the world?
you must have quite a bracelet by now.

maitaitom Oct 11th, 2022 04:27 PM

Only a flesh wound ... luckily

progol Oct 11th, 2022 04:44 PM

Oh dear. That doesn’t look like a fun activity. I hope you have a good story out of this, at least!

lrice Oct 19th, 2022 03:55 PM

Really looking forward to your Trip Reports! They are always colorful and real. I love how you "call it like you see it" :)

Hope you enjoyed every minute - outside of the ER :(
