The botanical gardens in the centre of Lisbon is a tranquil haven from the bustle of Lisbon's streets. Although somewhat run down, the entrance fee is ridiculously cheap: just 1.80€ or for more frequent visits an investment of 8.50€ will provide you with an annual family card.
Anyway spent a quiet 40 minutes or so in the gardens late on Wednesday in the warm late February sunshine mainly watching a duck on a small pond swimming around and cleaning himself.

I recognized ... Luís Pato amongst them, but not Filipa. I suppose my fellow-countryman cum excellent wine-waiter is hiding his bride and protecting their ... duckling.
Luc. I thought you would like to know that roast pato is on the menu tonight along with Luis's Casta Baga 2006.
I always find it funny that everyone thinks all ducks go "quack, quack".
In fact only one duck species does this call, cannot remember which one!
