Tuesday 12th August
I saw 2 patients with cholecystolithiasis in the hospital and at 10am I am free. I had a double lunch and until 4:30pm afternoon siesta (sleep). After that we realized a ride by tram Nr.28. We got in the tram at the final station Martim Moniz. which turned out to be a good idea since the tram is mostly an attraction for tousists and is overcrowded all the time. It is like riding a mountain track going up and down through narrow and crooked streets of Alfama, Baixa Bairro Alto and Estrella. The driver stopped at Basilica da Estrella, which I finally photographed. Through Jardim da Estrella we walked to Rato and then quickly to the canteen for a dinner (again double). In the evening I just hang around the residence and talk with Peter and Pavel at the balcony.
