The last day in Lisbon was meant to be spent on a boat on the river Tagus, but instead we retraced our steps from the night before, questioning everyone about my missing purse. This is how we ended up at Santa Justa Elevator once again and this time the queue wasn’t so long so we got to ride it to the top.
(the view from the top, as I said before, not very impressive)
I tried to report the purse as missing, out of breath from climbing Lisbons hills I finally found a police station. The only English-speaking police officer there said there is a special police station specifically for tourists. He used my mobile phone to google and show me where it is :D I asked him to stop a taxi and ask the taxi driver to take us there and finally we found it. Unfortunately we had only 15 minutes left before we had to leave to the airport, so after all the rushing around I couldn’t even report the loss.
*Travellers tip: Try not to lose anything valuable whilst in Lisbon, but if it happens, then know that there is a special tourists police station at Praça dos Restauradores, in the Palácio Foz building, 1200-187 Lisboa, telephone number: (+351) 213421623. Apparently there are loads of pickpockets in Lisbon, especially on the public transport and around the biggest attractions (as normal).
Molly had to navigate the taxi driver to our hotel in his own city, luckily we got to know Lisbon very well whilst running around to look for my purse.
We also had an “adventure” on the Lisbon metro when it broke down in a tunnel and we were stuck inside for about half an hour. But I am not gonna bore you with this story, watch a funny video I took on the metro on our way to the airport instead ———>
