Second day in Lisbon

I did a walking tour today. I climbed up to Castel de Sao Jorge. Nice place with good views. The Tower of Ulysses was the best part. They have a mirror on the roof that reflects everything onto a parabolic surface. Essentially it is a periscope on Lisbon that everyone in the room can use at the same time. Crystal clear picture quality too.
I walked back and tried the Elevador de Santa Justa. It’s an elevator as designed by a student of Gustav Eiffel. It’s a thrilling as it sounds. I used it to get to the Bairro Alto area where there was an English bookstore I wanted to go to. I want to go to the beach soon, and I need reading material to keep my sanity. I was going to buy a book at the Gatwick airport, but when they print the Canadian price next to the British price, they looked too expensive. Having now gone to the local bookstore, the bar on expensive has been raised.
I wandered/got lost through Bairro Alto until I got back to the hostel where I proceeded to rest.
