This statue of the Archangel Gabriel was carried by Vasco De Gama on two of his voyages of discovery
This Royal Barge is over 300 years old & was last used in an official capacity to transport Queen Elizabeth II on her official visit to Lisbon
No visit to Lisbon is complete without a visit to the iconic statue commissioned in the 80,s to honour the sailors of this great seafaring nation.
A view of the building that houses the Naval Maritime Museum of Lisbon. This was a must do for me with a life long interest of matters nautical. Portugal led the world in the 16 th century with nautical feats & voyages of discovery financed by the king or queen of the time.
Tomorrow we are heading down the coast on our way to Gibraltar, with a night half way. This morning I made contact with the other bikes in our group of 7. Hopefully we will all meet up in Gibraltar.
Make sure you have some portuguese chicken while you are there. I imagine getting in and out of Gibraltar will be slightly me more complex.
