Portugal 2019 - part eight



The back of the ‘traffic cop’ means we’ve returned to Lisbon.


Waiting in the airport departures area, I spot multi-coloured saints (€38.50) ...


… and Fatima Madonnas (€19) for those who just can’t get enough.


On board a passenger spots liquid on the port wing. He calls a flight attendant who brings the captain. The co-pilot goes to check …


… and says it’s a puddle of water. 

We depart Lisbon half an hour late. I now regret my puerile Protestant amusement at religious kitsch and hope there are plenty of devoted Fatima pilgrims on board. 


Goodbye to Portugal. Oh, and there will be one more post of what I consider to be my best pictures from the trip.
