Home now and thanks for all the advice all of which was useful. I somehow feel that we didn't do Lisbon justice as I hadn't planned anything and just wandered around, although we did go to both Belem and Sintra. A great city but the weather wasn't great (not that you should expect it to be mid October). The 'problem' with Lisbon is that it is also a cruise stop and in addition to the usual reams of tourists there are thousands more from the cruise ships. We went to see OMD on the Tuesday night in Lisbon, which we (or at least I) enjoyed for the first gig of their European tour.

Porto was hands down our favourite and one of those places I hope to return to one day. I'm done with holidays for this year now (or at least my wallet is). Next one is a super massive bucket lister to Oz in Feb.

Thanks again.
