Today I headed off to try and find Chapel of the Bones the famous one after getting directions from the man at the desk of my hotel I set out. I still got a bit lost and finally some how managed to find it. The Igreja do Carmo an 18th century Catholic church is known for its Chapel of the Bones, built out of the skulls and bones of monks. After paying a small admission fee, I went inside. The Church itself was pretty and after exploring it I went inside to see the Chapel as it was only opened for a limited time.

After grabbing a bit of snack I headed towards the train station to board my train to Lisbon. I was early but wanted to make sure I did not miss the train. I got on and managed to put my suitcase in a good spot and had a seat close to it. I settled in exhausted and trying to sleep; a young man came and sat next to me and pulled out his laptop and I dozed. When I awoke he suggested changing seats but I said no. I felt pretty annoyed with him and had a very wrong first impression. We started to talk and he was such a great person to talk with and we discussed so many thing. When it was time to get off he insisted on taking my luggage and putting it on the platform for me.

I found my hotel and it was only about a 15 min walk from the train station but it was all up hill and it took me longer with my suitcase. Next I headed to the an area near the Praca das Nacoe I walked around for awhile and decided to visit the Oceanarium. I am so glad I did it was truly beautiful it has over 8,000 sea creatures!!!! I was squealing with delight with the sea otters, they were so cute and several types of penguins I was so in heaven!!!!!!
