Day 2: Thu 26 Aug - London to Lisbon

We didn’t have to change terminal in Heathrow this time so we were able to use much of the transit time (well, as much as you get after having to undergo a number of security checks along the way) in the BA lounge. Onboard a BA plane for the short flight to Lisbon. Whilst it was ticketed as a Business class flight/seat, it was a normal Economy seating plan, with 3-3 configuration, however, there was no-one in the middle seat thereby giving us the sense we were in Business class??! Finding a taxi large enough to fit three of us all with big suitcases was a challenge, and eventually one driver just used an occy strap type device to secure the trunk closed and off we went. Made it our hotel – Holiday Inn Lisbon Continental without incident or losing any luggage! After unpacking, shower and snooze, we (John, Steve, Jane, me and possibly Susan) met downstairs and went for a stroll to shake out the cobwebs, and to have an early dinner. John oversaw finding a suitable dinner venue and he did just that. It was an early night for me.
