Metropolitan Lisboa Hotel Lisbon

... bridge. I have to admit i was just a little nervous about clearing that thing!! We took a whirlwind tour of the city which started out by coach and Bob was getting all nostalgic going by the Sheraton Lisbon where he stayed so much when he was flying the 757. Saw all kinds of monuments, cathedrals, palaces, and then the fun part!! After a short break at the Belem Tower and Monument of Discoveries ...

sorry voor alle filosofen die dit dit lezen,.. maar F*ck it,... ik ben een genietertje en geen denkertje,... ik ben geen naïef kieken, maar ik ben geen hersenenbrekertje,... ( tenzij het over sudoku’s gaat)...

... als hij begon te lachen,... maar the perfect ride bracht ons niet naar porto,.. maar op een 2uur van porto,.. we werden gedropt in een plaatselijke kantine voor truckers,.. waar ook de plaatselijke jeugd zijn nachtsnack kwam verorberen... de gezelligheid van de kantine was te vergelijken met de refter van een amerikaanse high-school movie,... dikke truckers kwamen binnen gewaggeld en dronken hun bica en vertrokken weer,.. maar niemand richting porto,... 2u werd ...

... atrio di un palazzo e sale su fino a rua do loreto, vorremmo prenderlo ma temiamo di perdere l'imbarco, così continuiamo il giro per comprare qualche bottiglia di acqua.
Ci presentiamo all'imbarco alle 11. Due simpatiche signorine ci comunicano che oggi l'imbarco delle 11.30 non ci sarà, problemi tecnici dicono, l'ufficio turistico ne era al corrente, peccato che la biglietteria invece lo ignorasse. Sembra che ogni mezzo che dobbiamo ...

... is Miguel and there were only 6 people in our jeep, with 3 jeeps on the tour. Our first stop was in Cascais (pronounced cash-KAYS), which was a half hour drive west of Lisbon. It was a cute seaside town where we were given a chance to walk around and stretch our legs. Then we were off to Cabo de Roca (Cape Roca) which is the westernmost point of continental Europe. We took some pictures of the ...

... it back to the hostel, where our bags were being stored. The others were there on the internet, figure out more plans, we said goodbye one last time and headed for Oriente. We had to wait for a heck of a long time, about two hours, but it was not so bad, considering I had bought juice, made some huge sandwiches, and yes, bought some grapes. But they had seeds! Curses! We were worried when our bus took off half an hour early but I ...

... Lisbon for dinner with Kaka Anil and family. The plan was to have dinner with him and then he would take us to his house in Figueira da Foz for the weekend. We ate at Laurentina where the dessert was excellent (Chocolate Mousse and Baba de Camello), but the baccaleu was not as good as one would have expected. Sofia almost did not order baccaleu (cod fish) but I would not have let her live it down. Then we drove to Figueira da Foz which is about 150 km away ....

... numbers and we were quite surprised at the low number of passengers from the U.S. although I attribute that to the difficulty and time needed to secure the Visa and get the Yellow Fever Vaccine. We then met for dinner and we were the only couple from the U.S. and the other three couples were from England, Scotland and Germany. Mom, the German man (Who lives now in Scotland) had the last name of Behrens. You need to tell me if you know where our Behrens came from. His great ...

... a little disappointing. Especially, the Toy Museum, which was tiny and didn't contain many entertaining toys at all. We also paid a visit to the Castelo de Sao Jorge, which was worth the visit more for the sweeping views of the City, than the castle walls and towers themselves (nothing else remains). I found Portugal to be a friendly Country, and wouldn't hesitate to go back there again.

... want. There wasn't anything at the Tower to tell you what is is, or used to be, or any history on it, but it was cool to walk around in, and some really great views over the city and the river. Then since I had a late start to the day, I never got over to the monastery across the road, but it looked huge and really nice on the outside, so I imagine it would be quite worth the trip if I had had the time. Just before I left to walk back, I grabbed one of the famous custard tarts that ...
