Lisbon May 2019

The last years have been a bit slow. I admit I was not productive at all
and was taking my new job very seriously, taking care of baby Felix.

Now that he is a boy of 5, I can start to get back to my job.

At the good old MUC Airport, waitin' at Gate K3

Since the flight to Lisbon takes roughly 3 hours and I got here quite late, it's 10 PM local
time now. I must say I am quite sleepy. This is my view out of the room window onto the
square "Marquês de Pombal" Luckily it got more quite at around midnight and there are
nearly no cars. Ambulances are quite busy here too, rushing around the big roundabout.



Sunrise at 6 AM

At around 7 AM in the middle of May.

The temperatures where warm, around 22 °C.


We decided to walk the 5 KM to the congress center in the morning, as we had time to
spare. There where a lot of these purple trees at about every square. The change in height
is more than 50 meters on our way down to the sea.


Lisbon does look a bit like San Francisco. Hilly, electric tram, red bridge, warm
climate, an earthquake damaged about 80% of the city quite some time ago
and it even sits on a fault line.


I even got a t-shirt of Lisbon.
