Gondola Ride

Along the coast, you can take a gondola ride. The perfect tourist trap, and of course, we rode it twice. Unfortunately, the weather was horrible. They neglected to tell us that on these type of days the gondola does not only sway side to side sometimes but also up and down quite violently. For the entire ride back, I was sure they we were going to be on the 6 o'clock news (or whatever the time the news is in Portugal) as two tragic deaths. It will be a long while till I step onto a gondola again.
