... but remember that many correspondents communicate in English as their second (or third, fourth ...) language; often flawlessly, though nuances of usage might cause occasional stumbles.

As a Brit I'm humbled by the facility for languages revealed by other nationalities.

Are you equally fascinated when 97.3% of the time that a Brit says "surely" s/he actually means "probably" -- surely that clinches the 3 points for Nottingsford-Harelip?

If you have a rental car from the airport, parking is free at the HIX LIsbon Airport, but is there parking at all at central LIS hotels like the IC or the HIX Liston-Liberdade? And even if there is, would you want to drive into the city with a rental car just to stay in the city (if the purpose of the rental car is only to go elsewhere in Portugal, but you have one night "near" the airport you need either at the start or the end of the trip)?

You are responding to a post from over three years' ago. I'm sure the poster has got over his Marie Antoinette moment

Time for a quick review of this hotel. I stayed there in late July and found that it was rather good. The only issue was getting there, as you will see, because there is no shuttle.

review coming
