My wife and I have been travelling through many many cities and countries over the last number of years as part of a travel bucket list. We tend to spend about 6 days in each and do as much as one possibly can, believing that life is too short to return on a constant basis. In Lisbon 'Fashion Duplex' became the epicentre of all our activities... within a radius of 3 Km we would visit most of the city sites by foot, bus, tram, metro, funiculars, boat and tuk-tuk. It was a perfect base for our trip to see as much as we could and within minutes and metres on leaving the duplex we were opening a window of wonder with every step. Our host Natalia had identified local restaurants and shops where we could purchase essentials but more importantly had selected a wine that would dance on our taste buds. Her advice of visiting Lawrence's Hotel post our trip to the Pena Palace in Sintra (where fairytales begin) and Cafe Darwin post a trip Torre de Belem was the best piece of advise we ever received, an exceptional place and host will long live in the memory. Thanks to Natalie our Lisbon visit was superb over 6 days.
