After thirty takes to maneuver the car in the tight space between four columns in the underground parking garage we got on our way. Highways are very good. At halfway point we stopped to let the kids out. There was a rest area with a fenced-in playground. The gate was locked. Dan lowered the kids in and they ran around a bit and then get go on our way.
We were staying at Avenida apartment hotel. We checked in our car and left our bags in storage and took the train to Cascais. There was a huge line to refill the green tickets. Dan ran downstairs for the other set of machines. We still missed the train but the next one was express, so it was very nice.
The water was still cold. But better than a month ago. Kids enjoed playing the water again. There was a group of special needs adults and their supporting staff. They rolled a lady on a special stroller straight into the water cheering and screaming along the way. She screamed very loud in the water but seemed to be enjoying herself. In general it looked like they were taking care of them very nicely and everyone was having a great time. It is nice that they do such things for them.
We did a similar route as before next – Indian, then park, then playground. After about 5 hours of driving adults were pretty tired and we headed back to the city. Checked into our hotel. Found out that it had a pool on the roof and kids did another swim. That was so awesome!!! The view was amazing. It looks like anyone can just show up at the hotel and go to upstairs go swimming. Good to know.
Next we walked around a bit more. Everyone had ice-cream at Amorino.
Then we headed to Chiado and listed to Thoth one last time. Then I spoke a bit to the homeless guy with two dogs who sells pictures on the street. His name is... I already forgot his name :( He is originally from Goa but now is Portuguese. He said that he sells the pictures he likes. No one wants to rent him a room with two dogs. He spoke very good English. Seemed eager to continue talking. 
Isabella is confused about where her home is. In the last few days we switched a few hotels. She keeps asking where is her home. She thought it is where our apartment was and asked whether we will go there. She is also asking for Irina.
It is very sad to leave Lisbon. We had a great time. It was way too short. Hopefully we will get to do it again next year.
