After coming up from the pool we got showered and ready to drive into Lisbon to meet our friends from home. Henry had a little nap in the car so he was on top form for dinner.
We met our friends and headed straight to the most amazing Moroccan restaurant for dinner. It was basically an old Moroccan lady's front room which was so beautifully laid out and she did everything herself - welcomed us in (there was a plant in the doorway so no one could enter without her moving the plant herself!), took our order, poured our drinks, made our food, cleared the table, washed up etc etc. She was absolutely amazing. One of the first things she said to me was not to worry about the baby and his mess, babies will be babies and to relax. She gave me his orange juice in a little jug so I could give him a little at a time and told us what was in every dish so we knew if it was suitable for him. The food was amazing, we ate so many little mezze type treats and all chose a tagine each. Henry loved the spiced houmous with pitta bread and my chicken tagine with couscous and he played with all his plastic Peppa Pig tat while we chatted with our friends and drank plenty of wine (apart from poor Daddy who was driving).
After we'd finished we went for an ice cream to the most beautiful place in the centre of Lisbon. Henry had a banana sorbet and I had a mixture of passion fruit and raspberry. Mr B had a waffle with ice cream and dark chocolate and it was all divine. Henry finished his cone and then immediately grabbed mine out of my hand to finish!! Definitely a hit with him.
We are now on our way home, it's past 11pm so poor Henry is crashed out in his car seat and we are all ready for our beds. A really lovely evening in a very beautiful city that we'd love to explore some more one day.
