Algarve

It was windy, cold, than hot, the water is freezing cold, but the scenery is amazing... How we got to Algarve? That was an adventure really... We booked a car through our hotel reception at Europcar... till here everything was ok... than they said they can't bring the car (a Smart for two) to our hotel so we had to take a taxi and all our luggage to their office. But when we arrived there, we had to wait for 30 minutes to be told that we can't rent a car with Visa?!? Ok, it was our fault, but they could have told us that before? right?

Lisbon Day 1 & 2

I finally managed to sort out the pictures from my trip to Portugal..  So let's start with Lisbon. We stayed at the H otel Corinthia  that was an excellent choice so if you find yourself in Lisbon i suggest you to stay there :)  Since we didn't have much time we decided to take the 48h bus tour around Lisbon. It's practicly a hop-on/off bus and you see the entire city in 48h or less. It was quite exhausting, but worth it. And it's really cheap. It cost us only 25 Euro per person and it included 3 different bus tours and a tram tour. Lisbon is beautiful so I went a bit heavy on the pictures... and now just relax and enjoy :) shopping center Inside shopping center Benfica stadium Night view from our room Inside tram ...to be continued.
