A new record

Today was about letting Google lead us to our next stop and, as usual, our first walk was uphill to the viewpoints overlooking Lisbon and from there just lots of walking.
The streets are insane, especially up higher from the main part of town. Tram lines, skinny roads, skinny footpaths, all melded into one. Did I forget the tuk tuks? It's insane. Add that to the potention of slipping on the ancient mini cobblestones and you've got a good day out. Lots of street art, a funicular ride and just basically moseying around. 
The result? 58 flights of stairs climbed, according to Garmin. A flight equals 3 metres. That is officially too much, but I think we are getting climbing fit. Maybe we did this much climbing on the Camino Walk, but I'm saying it's our new record.
