PORTUGAL: The Reality of the The Hills in Lisbon

The hills in Lisbon are great for getting a bird's eye view of the city. 

But that has to be balanced with the reality of dealing with the ups and downs of them. 

From a practical perspective, what about bringing groceries home, getting to school or to the office, riding a bike, parking a car and just plain everyday living? 

These are serious questions to ponder.

It seems that to get where you're going you walk up one hill, 

turn the corner, and then go down another hill. 

Then up again. 

Then down again. 

And repeat.

And repeat again. 

I am sure you're getting the picture....

Admittedly, I am parking challenged, so I can not imagine how tough it would be for parking. In this case, it looks like this person also has some additional issues.

Needless to say, I am optimistic that walking up and down all these hills will result in me getting a teenage butt!
