Lisbon and Porto
...the trip continues... (Part 1)
Saturday 17 January 2009
Location: Funchal, Portugal; Lisbon, Portugal
After settling down Simon and his Slovenian roommate Ceca took us to their Belgium friends house where we had delicious Belgium dinner. After the dinner we went to a fancy club called Lux. The party starts at about 2AM and lasts until 7 AM.
Sunday 18 January 2009
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Me and Karmen went around Lisbon. Since it was raining we decided that there was nothing better then checking out the shopping mall. In the evening we went out to Bairro Alto.
Monday 19 January 2009
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Simon took us sightseeing – first to the Castle of São Jorge and then to the Jerónimos Monastery, Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Belém Tower and Berardo Museum, Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art. Only the Castle and the Museum were open, because it was Monday. I guess Monday is not the day to go sightseeing in Lisbon. After a long sightseeing day we tasted the famous Pastéis de Belém. Yummy!
In the evening we had dinner at home and went to Bairro Alto for the last time.
Tuesday 20 January 2009
Location: Lisbon, Portugal; Porto, Portugal
We found a hostel which was more like a hotel in Porto. Then we tried the Porto Francesinha which is a bit too greasy for our taste. We walked around beautiful Porto and Riviera District. In the evening we afforded a nice cake and tea in Cafe Majestic.
Wednesday 21 January 2009
Location: Porto, Portugal; Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal
We went to Casa da Música, Vila Nova de Gaia over the river and to Calem Port House where we had a tour just for ourselves and some Port wine tasting at the end. We also checked Torre de Clérigos and Librería Lello & Irmão. In the end we had to check shopping capabilities of Porto :) Cannot leave the town without knowing how the shopping looks like!
Thursday 22 January 2009
Location: Porto, Portugal; Stanstead Airport, UK; Ljubljana, Slovenia; Maribor, Slovenia
We flew from Porto to London where everything was very cheap because of the low rate £ – €. We decided to go back to London for shopping, but there was still no time up to now! From London we flew to Ljubljana where my parents picked us up and took us home.
