. . . the list of places still to visit grows by the moment, but one place that can hardly believe have missed [too many visits to paris, perhaps?], is one of the world's oldest cities, lisbon, if for no other reason than to make a wish at the stunningly lovely and impossibly romantic pink fountains . . .
{p.s.} more travel inspiration :
* the gilded ceilings & chandeliers of hungary
* barcelona, spain
* château de vaux-le-vicomte, maincy, france
* bora, bora, tahiti
* venice, italy

Nothing wrong with too many visits to Paris! Although judging by the pictures, Lisbon is just as worthy of a destination. Hope you are able to visit one day :)
Hello.
I just meet your wonderful blog through Betty Gaeta on facebook. I love it. I'am Portuguese and from Oporto. But our capital Lisbon is beautiful too and I love the pictures an know the place. I'am following. (sorry for my bad english)
Kisses from Portugal.
Yes, Lisbon is a city of fountains, although sadly most no longer have water. You found a couple of the nicest ones and if you want to see more and know the history behind all of them, see this list: http://www.lisbonlux.com/magazine/10-monumental-drinking-fountains-in-lisbon/
Simply beautiful!!

I just came across your site and I tell you as an Excursionista with endless travel aspirations I am swooning. I already posted a gorgeous photo from your trip to Russia on pinterest. http://pinterest.com/forevervoguish
Oh goodness, how I wish I could be there...
don't forget the pinks and peaches of the lapa palace! perhaps a little coupe of champagne in the garden there is in order?
Wonderful to see my city in one of your posts! Lisbon is indeed an amazing city. I'm a portuguese blogger and a proud Lisbon born girl, living across the river in Montijo.
Xoxo
