We officially made our first moves as world travelers this weekend at friday morning at 5:30 am after going out the night before (bright idea gab), we made our way to the airpot for our 7:30 am flight. The flight to Lisbon was very quick and I slept the entire time, that is the whole 1 hour and 10 minutes..
When we arrived in Portugal we walked around until we found a cheap hostel to stay in. We found one right near Rossio square for 10 euro a night. The hostel was not THAT bad but it was absolutely FREEZING, but we sucked it up and made it through the next two nights.
We did a lot of exploring, eating, and shopping while we were there the first day. We sat by the water that was beautiful and relaxing as well. I thought Madrid had a lot of statues and fountains but there was literally one on every block in Lisbon.
The night life is totally different there as well. Us newly born Spaniard used to eating wicked late decided to go out to dinner around 9:30, and there was literally no one eating. We were so confused but we picked a place outside got some food and crushed 4 bottles of wine between 5 of us. Apparently in Portugal everyone eats from 7-9, it's funny how even though the countries are so close the cultures are so different. Also, the people in Lisbon all drink out on the streets in the "barrio alta" starting earlier than we're used to as well. In Madrid we don't go out til about 1:30, thats not how it works there though!
Saturday we got lunch and did a bus tour on a double decker bus, it was really nice and we got to see a lot of the city. We got dinner later on and it was delicious I got salmon, it melted in your mouth. So yummy. It was nice to eat some real people food and not crap from Baradas All weekend. Lisbon is beautiful, I loved it and would definitely go back.
I really love being here now. I am very happy and I'm so glad I came. My only complaint is that I have to stop breaking things and tripping. Idno where all this bad luck is coming! Say a prayer for me people!
