Hotel Radisson Sas Lisboa Lisbon

Well its a Business Class lounge, so actually its all good, as we have unlimited drinks, food, magazines, showers and most importantly for me free wi-fi. I actually have time to catch up on all those things that I haven't had time for........including checking out possible accommodation for our trip, good kite spots, as well as emails, Facebook and wind and weather reports from the ...

So, I left the library and went to Portugal<br>On our trip that we learned the intention of Portuguese maritime explorations was to explore, and not to conquer. I liked that.<br>My DePauw friends who are studying in Spain had a trip planned to Lisbon, and I decided to jump on since I hadn't really done the whole "study abroad see all of Europe" that everyone does. So I took advantage of their plans and had my explore Europe experience. And it was great, and I am so ...

Hello Everyone!<br>Sorry it has been so long since my last post, I'm horrible at keeping up with stuff like this. <br><br>The weekend of Halloween, me and my friend Lauren went out of the country for the first time since we've been in Spain. We went to Lisbon, Portugal. It was incredible. Unfortunately, we only had roughly 24 hours there (we had to make it back in time for class on ...

... tired, and it was getting close to the time that I should get the bus back to the airport to make it in time for my flight. I wanted to get some pictures of the elevator thing in town. It was designed by the same person as the eiffel tower. There is also a church nearby that I wanted to see. The roof is missing due to the big earthquake a while ago. They decided not to repair it in order for it to serve as a reminder. I got lost on the ...

... r, hanem Belém központja, amihez minden közel van. Mi legelõször a Torre de Belémbe akartunk menni, mivel az volt a legtávolabb. Két öregasszonyt kérdeztünk meg, hogy merre van, jól összevesztek egymással. Mindkettõ mást mondott. Késõbb rájöttünk, hogy ugyanazt mondták, csak két féle képpen. Az egyik a parkon át, a másik a téren át tudta az utat. Mi végül a parkon át mentünk. Széles, forgalmas út és vasútvonal fekszik a park és a Felfedezõk emlékmûve között, és csak egy ...

... favorite activities. We thoroughly enjoyed looking down on the whitewashed buildings with their orange tiled roofs - despite the light rain shower midway through the walk. Obidos also has some wonderful tile installations. The first one is encountered when entering through the town gate. The second installation covers the walls of the Church of Santa Maria in the center of town. The church's walls are fully covered with 18th century tiles ...

... of fun things learned as always on the walkies. The city of Lisbon is actually built on water. Also there aren't many sewers because of the stone that is used to make the sidewalks and streets is a porous material that soaks up the water right into the catacoms under the city. The bad part is that when there is a pouring rain, it takes some time for the soaking up to occur. After the tour I take a quick detour to the hostel ...

... it but it was a waste of time as they said it would be months as they had to order the parts from Germany!!! Looks like we will have to get it done in France and let them know beforehand. Then we drove around in circles trying to find the Media Market where we could buy a new 12volt charger for our Satellite Navigation as that decided to break yesterday!!! But they did not have one... good start so far!!! However, the day did improve, we got to Portugal no problem and ...

... facial and an hour of yoga. This is so my kind of vacation! Also, thrown in the photo album are some pictures from day 7's formal night (2 of 3 formal nights on the ship) and pictures of our tablemates (and 1 of Russ). We have a head water (Peter, from Hungary), waiter (Rusmir, we call him Russ, from Croatia) and assistant waiter (Wilson, from Colombia. Yah, I'm not buying his name is Wilson either). I'm sure I've mentioned them before but I have a funny story about ...
