After a hectic morning of packing and checking out, it was time to leave Troia. Fortunately, a few of us decided to spend the evening in Lisbon so were able to meet up again. But first, Greg, Yvonne, Brian and I drove to Comporta. We couldn't believe we didn't visit there sooner. It was really charming. There were giant stork nests everywhere, which we saw along the highway on the back to Lisbon too. After dropping off the car, we arrived to our hotel (Browns Central) around 3pm. Fortunately, most of us got rooms there too, or close by. Brian and I took off and walked around the Castelo de S. Jorge area before meeting up with everyone again. Once we met up, we headed back to the castle with the group, and actually went in, which I was super happy we did. We had the best views -- and I loved the peacocks roaming the area. Afterwards, we hit the street market that had set up right outside our last hotel on Praca da Figueira since last time we were there, and met up with more from our group. We sampled a few things before moving on to the Time Out Market for dinner. So many good things. I wish I had taken some photos, but it was also very hectic, especially with our size group. Still, very fun, and perfect so we could all try different things. I left with some people, while Brian stuck around for awhile then joined a group for some port wine in the lobby.
