Trolley ride to the sea

February 19, 2024

Due to construction of a new metro line, the tram through the city center was not running, so we headed west along the Duoto to the sea. The tram was fairly empty this morning. There was strong WNW wind kicking up the surf along the breakwater. Our friend had a flight home this afternoon, so we headed back to the city in time for lunch, where we bid our friend goodbye.

After a nice stroll, we crossed the Ponte (Bridge) Luis I to the Jardim de Morro. A convivial crowd was gathered here for the sunset, sipping wine and beer from the many vendors walking among the crowd.

The ride back was not too crowded either
