Vespas to Jesus

so its about time I update about Portugal!

It was beyond amazing! We fell in love with the country even if we couldn't understand a single word of Portuguese. We arrived in Portugal on Friday night to discover the cutest hostel I've ever seen! There were candles and a beautiful terrace outside which we took full advantage of. Bobby even came to meet us on the first half of our trip in the city of Porto.

We spent the days exploring and visiting two different port lodges where we enjoyed some beautiful sweet goodness. After our first port visit we went to lunch on the riverbank where we enjoyed lots of seafood. We concluded our meal by trying fish heads..... not bad but nothing to rave about. We spent a few more days in the beautiful sunshine enjoying chorizo and vino verde before heading to Lisbon.

We took an afternoon train to Lisbon and were again greeted by an AMAZING hostel. It was just like a real world house! The first day we conquered the major Lisbon sites including a few cathedrals and the amazing custard tarts in Belem.

Day two we traveled to they mythical land of Sintra! The book was completely right in describing it as Sleeping Beauty meets Lord of the Rings. There were ruins of an old Moorish Castle that just seemed like a giant play land. Then we went up to the pink and yellow castle on the hill. It was like spending a day in a fairy tale.

Our last day was spent checking out Barrio Alto which was full of lots of bars and some pretty cool tags on the buildings. Sadly we had to leave our warm weather and return to a rather windy and dreary london town on thursday night.

But then BRANDON CAME!!!!

more to update soon!

bisous!
