Avenida de Saboia 209, Monte-Estoril Estoril, Estremadura, Portugal, 2769-502
So, very cool excursion from the city today. Took the train out of Lisbon to this little town called Sintra which has a castle at the top of this big mountain. Very Werewolf Mountain-esque <some of you might not understand that so dont worry about it>. Turns out that the place was built by the Moors around 800 years ago. Once you get to th...

I know, I know I have been like the world's worst blogger for the past month. For some of you, you could care less, but for a select few I know you do enjoy reading about my adventures. I have been quite busy these last few weeks and away from the internet for the last two weeks while I was in Portugal. So needless to say I have a l...
Now if you have followed the blog since Brussels, you'll know that Jess is a sucker for a flea market. There is one in Lisbon every Tuesday and Saturday, so we planned to visit it on Saturday, our last day in Lisbon. Because Internet access was not as freely available as some of the other places we have stayed I spent the first hour at the nearb...
Lisbon, Portugal guykbLisboa. Or almost there. An empty fuel tank almost stopped us at the road. A sleepover and we had lunch with Tia Belita e Tio Joaquim. Very warming couple with some crazy stories about comunism in Africa and runaway families. At night, some nice sights of Torre de Belem.
Lisbon, Portugal fsimionatoIt was an early morning regardless of how hard I'd slept and it was really hard to get up for breakfast before gathering for the first day of our Academic Field Program. I wasn't too happy to note that our leader would be my World Literature professor, but there are other cool people in our circle and the IRC (Intercultural Resident Councilor) t...
Lisbon, Portugal randiandersenDay one - we land in Lisbon and head for the hotel, Raddisson. Unfortunately our room was next to some giant turbine things that made such a noise you could barely think straight. Fortunately, it was switched off at night and they moved us to a new room the following day! We headed out to the underground system. Having got used to Spain we bough...
Lisbon, Portugal simonaWe hebben pech, Gert kan de bestelling pas maandag plaatsen in verband met vrije dagen op Hemelvaartsdag en aansluitend op vrijdag. Maar dat geeft niet, want harde wind is op komst en er is hier in de omgeving veel te bekijken. Om de dag gaan we naar Porto om de plaats goed te bekijken. De oude stad, de portleveranciers (inclusief het proeven) ...
Lissabon, Portugal psteerenbergIt's all almost over. I keep flip flopping between heartbreak and denial. I don't want ot go home. I'm ready, but I don't want all this to end. I'm scared. And sad. And already nostalgic for hte live I've been leading the last 10 1/2 months. There won't be anymore of those "I can't believe I'm here doing this" moments. I can't decide on a whim t...
Lisbon Airport, Portugal bootsmade4wlkin24 hours post the festival we are on the move again, tomato still present in my ears and other places not to mention!! This time to Seville for a night and then onto Lisbon, Portugal. At this stage I am not really sure why we agreed to fly into Barcelona and then out of Lisbon. Sounded like a good plan at the start. Out of the 50 train carriages...
