Arrival at Lisbona - Portugal

This morning at 9am we left the Curia but our great disappointment we found out that the flight was delayed by two hours. Imagine waiting at the airport for two hours...anyways we passed the time....we reached around 4pm local time....i hope you know that Portugal is one hour behind the rest of Europe....we reached to experience a chaos at the airport as the ground personnel had declared a strike and those friars who had to wait for their luggage....agony and distress.....we got one bus to a city bus stand and from there we took a bus for Fatima....one and half hours drive....beautiful road and scenery.....
 This is areal view of Lisbon....as we were landing.....beautiful indeed....
 It is a big city on the sea shore.....


 It looks like a paradise.....i hope to go around the city....


 some of the provincials waiting at the airport for their luggage to arrive on the belt.....

It was nice time at the airport ....to say hi and hello....

 Outside the airport.....
 we are waiting for the Bus....don't you know that we are in the advent season...waiting for the Lord to arrive......one hour of wait seemed too long man.....but general and vicar and others said no problem to wait......


 Raffaele is always ready to find out solutions,,.,,,he goes around and finds out information....


 Mark looks for the bus and it is nowhere in the sight.....
