Another day while in Lisbon we visited an area known as "Vasco Da Gamas". Da Gamas was an explorer that discovered the area and everything was named after him from the modern shopping mall to the older buildings. We walked along the water and took pictures outside the Oceanario, or the Aquarium. We didn't have enough time to visit the aquarium, but there was also a cable car crossing the water right next to it that we decided to go on. I hate heights but I was talked into going on it by everyone else. Once up there I wouldn't let go of my seat and wasn't going to take pictures but I finally got over it and took some awesome pictures of the view from up there (that other people most likely appreciated more than me).
That night we were told to visit a place in Lisbon well known for nightlight called "Docas" which means the docks. As you can tell from the name it was right on the water where all the boats were docked for the night. It was a boardwalk type of thing with bars and night clubs all down one side of it. The first club we walked into had dancers dancing in the doorway and we decided it was a nice view and stayed there for a while. We visited other clubs as well and had a good night (not so great morning).
