Transitions to Tapas
May 12, 2011 on a plane bound for Portugal...
Overwhelmed, anxious, tired, excited, worried, lucky, happy…did I say excited??
The day came so quickly...
It's funny how life, or anything for that matter can change…so quickly. Life is dynamic after all. I guess if it were stagnate, well…it would be just that …
The Meals of Lisboa
Ahhh Lisboa - We love Lisboa!
This town eats late, (major transition for me!) honors happy hour at most hours of the day, drinks into the wee wee hours of the morn and sleeps in very late. I am embarrassed to say that our first night in Lisboa we ate dinner around 11 and slept in until 3pm! Yes, that's 3 in the afternoon! Now, in my defense, …
The White City
... We arrived at the train station that evening in preparation for our overnight to Granada but the events that followed should have been a warning to how the rest of our train travels would go for the 8 day break. Everybody was settled in their cabins, preparing for bed and for the train to leave when Kacey decided to go buy a water outside the train. We were sitting in our beds as the trains started rolling away when we hear Holland say ...
Fear & Phobia In Lisbon
... As I sat there watching what was going on, I tried to sidle over to get myself in the frame – wouldn’t be cool to turn up as an extra in some Portuguese movie? I don’t think I was successful though. I was never asked to move and they never really looked my way, even though they were shooting right across my table at one point.
When lunch time came around, I’d had enough and went over to an Indian restaurant in another corner ...
Walk walk walk!
... for cheap. Unfortunately the room was still in use as it was only 9 in the morning. David stored our luggage away and we went of to explore.
We didn’t really know much about where we were so we just followed our noses and made our way down to a nice little square with a big monument in the middle. A young man quickly approached us with good English offering us a ‘free tour’ of Lisbon. We soon found out the tour was actually ...

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Anjo Azul (Blue Angel) Lisbon
We kind of stumbled across this hotel after happily staying in a youth hostel but desiring a double (instead of a tiny twin) bed. The price was fair, $40eu for two. Private bath, and surprise to us private patio (with no view). This hotel is in the heart of the Bairro Alto district. Literally, blocks from the "view point" and art / night life / restaurant district. Best of all, they had no problem storing our bikes for 3 nights right in the front lobby...the staff was beyond nice (spoke English) and respectfully kept our room very tidy. The night receptionist was an older man...so kind, fun...we would recommend and stay here again.
