On a hot July day in 2023, we surprise the "Beirinha" sailing along the refreshing Tejo River. Partially visible, the cruise ship "Anthem of the Seas". In the distance, upstream, the Vasco da Gama Bridge. At the bow of the catamaran, one of the guests takes a photo of the 25 de Abril Bridge. Happy moments. ●

Back to Normality

Image
After the disastrous choice of the British operator VODAFONE as my internet provider , which sent my connectivity back into the dark ages and whose mediocre or non-existent service affected five months of publications (September, October, November, December and January), it is finally possible to bypass the obstacle with the support of an interested party. The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting.
