Road Trip Evora to Lisbon Day 6
The morning was well spent doing the walking tours in Evora. The highlight of the day was visit to Bone Cathedral in Evora. From Evora we drove to Lisbon, where everything was going as per plan. During the walks my husband got pickpocketed; somebody flicked his wallet. There will be a more detailed post on this later.

The bone cathedral is a strange concept – sounds a bit eerie, but what does it feel like being there?
Beautiful photos! Waiting to read about your experiences with local people and the food. That cathedral in Braga looks so fascinating.
Awesome pics, Indrani. After seeing these, I felt an urge to visit Portugal 🙂
OMG Bone Cathedral sounds so eerie…and what followed on Lisbon walks was very unfortunate. Hope the rest of your trip was great, Indrani.

That bone cathedral is amazing!! Great capture! Well, of course, they are all great and the last one is one of those amazing ones that just depend on being in the right place at the right time and with a great eye — which you do have, Indrani!!
