Banana:(Lisbon, Cascais, Guincho, PORTUGAL)
So where did we leave off last i think it was us leaving Lagos and how sad we were to leave there! we still are very sad..... but am defently going back next season to work for about 6mnths woot woot! So we arrived to Lisbon at about 12am and yes of course we got lost again suprising right NOT!!!! lol
So our first full day in lisbon we went to a castle on top of one of the highest points of lisbon and you could see all over from there.... There was a bridge there that looked alot like the golden gate bridge... nothing to special, we werent really fond of lisbon to us it was just another big city, and maybe because we both are missing lagos so much. but we did make the best of what we had their... We were able to finally go and see an english movie ¨the ugly truth¨probably one of the funniest movies we have watched in awhile. It was just what we need from`partying about 5days straight in Lagos and lacking of sleep. We cooked two really good dinners there in the kitchen which were amazing and comforting, oh and our last night there we were suppose to go out and explore the night life but we got caught up watching..... HARRY POTTER the first one and yes it was in English.( I pretty much had no choice since Shan was liek i dnt care what you think YOU are watching this lol) I was fine to watch it!!! SO we stayed in watched our movie because we were meeting the aussie girls in the morning for a rendevous with them.
So we found them the next morning at around 1030am we were originally suppose to meet at 9am but info was given wrong, which was no big deal because the small surfer town we were heading to was only 30mins away named ¨ Cascais¨wow what an amazing place to end our final days in Portugal!! SO our first day there we were only given directions to our hostel that said 5 to 6mins walk from the train station no JOKE, soooo guess what yes we got lost yet again lol... So after 30mins of wandering the town we found our Hostel. It was amazing hostel full kitchen with a pool, internet, lounge area, tv room. On our first day we made it a beach day lol, well for a bit until we had a sand storm at the beach and went back to the hostel to use the pool and cook dinner! our first YUMMY stir fry!! ( oh and 10 bottles of wine too!!! heheheh) we also baked at cake for Jess cuz it was her birthday so we celebrated!! oh and in the morning our wonderful friends who decided to invade our room one morning at 9am, yes ants and tons of them everywhere... They were biting us and we woke up with them all in our backpacks and on us, so not what we wanted to be doing at 9am( big FML)
So the next morning we woke up at 830am and got ready to start our day SURFING at a little surf cove named Guincho wow there arent enough words to describe how beautiful it was there... It was a pretty choppy day very windy and it was epic for the wind surfers which were amazing.... But yes we had so much fun the four of us girls were out on our boards for about 2 and a half hours and it was a great work out! ( am pretty sure shan ate alot more water than she wanted too lol) Defently not her sport lol but she tried !!!! After we stopped surfing we had our little picnic lunch at the beach and we were freezing our Butts off we decided to head back and start to get dinner stuff ready and vegg by the pool! Oh and did i mention that our bathroom had a bathtub and yes i got to have my first amazing bath in PORTUGAL i was in heaven lol... have the pics to prove it lol....
On our third day we were suppose to rent bikes in town, well rent them for free ! but we started our day alittle late and so we were unable to get them so we wandered around the town a little and had another day at the `pool and cooked dinner!
On our final day in Cascais we were able to get up early enough and get the bikes soo we rode them along a seawall illegally which we thought we were aloud but ya defently werent oopppsss lol!!! soooo we went and found a bike trail and rode them for another 45mins to a light house and stopped along the coastline sat on a ledge and just took it all in till next year when WE will RETURN!!!! after that we went to these little tidal `pools and layed yes topless for our last time and swam in the sea one last time :(!!!!! Then made one last dinner together then shan and I had an overnight train to catch to Madrid, no tfun at all no sleep no Air con and oh the bathrooms were horrible!! SO we arrived early next morning found our hostel and today we went shopping got theh fall clothes we needed lol, cuz we hadnt packed and thing oopppsss! and a bit of sight seeing today!!! Tomorrow we are offf to PARIS woot woot for 3nights and 2nights in Bordeaux!!!!
Miss you all, but we arent not ready to come home! SORRY we lovce you but not that much JJ!!! lol

Spain
Banana: (Spain, Barcelona, Seville)
Sooo last we wrote that we were catching a train at 630am and this was not fun at all. See we had to switch trains 5 times in one day and at some of the stops we had only 10mins in between train departures which for about three of them we had to run too lol... so image seeing Shan and I running with our backpacks.( ya was pretty funny)
So we did our first stop in Barcelona and we did not arrive until 7pm that night and we were starving, so we decided to go for an authentic Spainish meal. Well we decided to share a few tapas items and one being these chicken nugget type of things so we were like good no more mystery meat lol... Well were we wrong, these sooo called chicken nuggets were disgusting (YUCK) sooo let me describe them to you and you can judge for yourselves lol.... Best way to describe them to you is they are an outside layer of a chicken nugget but on the inside its all mushy and shit.... Its basically taking a McChicken Nugget and blending it in a blender then injecting it back into the shell of the nugget! GROSS, i was basically gaging in my mouth lol... The best part of our dinner was our VINO suprsing right lol.... Best Vino so far has to be spain, we wish we could ship it home :( after dinner we ventred down to the main square called las ramblas and it was nice but very dead as it was a Monday, and we were a little nervous going out alone there... so we stayed out till about 3am
So our second day in Barcelona was a very chill day all we wanted to do was go by the sea and chill with our tubes... which was just what we did. the sea in Barcelona had alot of waves but it was very warm and very nice beaches.. Later that night we went got our geroceries for the next few days and were going to start to make our first real meal at home we were so excited.. Honestly this was the best meal we have had in Europe lol and we cooked it lol... (chicken, noodles and Broccoli!!!!!) yummy! Honestly we are going to have to slowly wein ourselves off of CARBS!!! we hate them lol...
Next day we went and did abit of sight seeing in Bacelona we went and saw the famous cathedrial that Gauidi desgined and is still being built to this day. there is so much detail to this building that I believe over 5 to 6 diffrent contractors have had an input on the building. We went and saw the famous statue of Christopher Colombus and walked around Las Ramblas for a bit of shopping and to wonder around and look at all the Gypsy. Later that night we made another dinner and wemt out for our final night in Barcelona to go to Seville for another long train ride 12hours straight this one!
So we got up at 630am to catch our train and with about three hours of sleep and us both sooo tired we were not happy campers at all lol... So we boarded our train which was okay but very uncomfortable and no one spoke english so this was very hard because about half waz into the train ride to Seville we came to a complete stop in the middle of nowhere and we were literally stuck their for over 2hours not able to find out what was going on.... So our sooo called 12hour train ride turned into 15hours a big FML.... lol but we made it safe and sound
Our first day in seville we walked along their famous little river to go and find this gold tower the bull fighting ring and this famous park called Maria Luisa and let me tell you the walk was hell in the heat and because we are in the desert basically right now it get to be about 38 degrees by 2pm and is sooo dry.. but once we reached the park after a 45min walk it was covered by trees and many fountains it was beautiful... We rented a two person bike which was sooo much fun and we did abit of off roading with it lol lots of fun! So we thought we would give Spain another try on the dinner soo we went out again and let me tell you we hate the food to fatty and gross, we do not understand why they have to put ham in everything lol
Today we went on a walking tour of seville learmed about all the history and that was very intresting lots of info on this little place... after that we went did a little shopping around the main center checked all the shops out and now we are off for hopefully a good dinner that our tour guide has recommended... wish us luck!
love you guys!!!

Banana... ( Florence, Venice, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Verona, Milan, Nice,)
(Day 1...)(Luxury) Where do i being, sorry it has taken us so long to update but we have basically been non stop for the last 8days straight. Sooo Florence was amazing besides the train ride there we were very tired. Our first day we arrived there we had a 4 bedroom suite with our girlfriends from home so that was nice. When we arrived we were a little unsure of what it would be like, but to our suprise it was AMAZING! it wasnt just any ordinary hostel it was a damn HOTEL lol.... with our own flat screen tv and computer on top of that, oh plus we had free international calling to home soo this is why we all called home every few days while we were their lol! So after we all checked in and kind of settled it was about 5pm and we were all starving so we decided to go explore Florence.... We ended up spliting up for dinner in Florence and shan and I went to this little buffet dinner where you could write on the walls their.... Many travellers had written on the wall and many from Canada sooo of course we had too lol.... That was fun and a great little dinner and the owner sat and played guitar for us while we sat and enjoyed!
(Day 2) So on our first real day in Florence we ventured out to go explore some more and find the Duomo and the famous DAVID(the perfect male anatomy) Duomo is a church which we just stumpled upon and we went to the museum where david was but it was so expensive just to see the actually thing we found a replica of him in one of the squares where of course all the toursits go to visit lol.... Oh and in the square we were invaded by a bunch of asain tourists who for some reason were facsinated by our feet and us and started taking pictures lol(cazy asaians lol) After we saw what we wanted we decided to head to a few shops we had seen along the way and to go through the famous leather market of Florence which is about 2 blocks of little vendors set up... That was fun just to browse and doddle a bit lol.... Then we headed home around 4pm napped for abit and made our first meal in EUROPE and oh my it felt so good to cook again. pasta mhhhh Shan and I are going to have to wein ourselves of FUCKING carbs when we get home cuz thats all the Europeans eat! yet we don't understand why they stay so dam skinny lol....
(Day 3) Soo thrid day in Florence we did a day trip to Pisa and Cinque Terre. We started at 5am which weren't suppose to have to get up till 6am but someone didnt set the alarm clock right and we got up an hour earlier after only 3hours of sleep not soo fun anita!! haha and we all know am not a nice person in the am, needless to say i was NOT impressed lol.... So we made it to Pisa and were sooo overly tired we couldn't stop lauhing at all the stupid little shit along the way. oh and Shannon was on a mission to find....(can anyone guess) yes coffee lol.... so her new nickname now is (TANK) she never stops..lol we had our lunch for breakfast which was turkey sandwhiches which we found so funny yet sooo good at 7am lol.... SOoooo after we found shan coffe and she was happy again we walked 15mins and found Pisa.... It was really cool to see but we all werent going to pay like 11euros to go up a buliding which sinks a little every year no thanks lol.... We sat around their for about an hour because we had to wait to catch our train to Cinque terre, so Shan and I layed in the grass and found shapes in the clouds lol....
So Cinque Terre where do I begin its made up of 5 small villages along the coast line of Italy and might I say breath taking.... We stop at the first village and got out and walked around a little bit most of the towns you could walk around on trails but of course it was a fee to pay to walk them. Well we just walked the first one the shortest one because we were on a time limit.... But am so glad we did. we walked under a bridge which was famous their for the graffti and where all the lovers go to lock a lock to this look out point to ring ever lasting love. Then on to the second and third and fourth little villages which were all pretty much the same amazing views and awesome vibe from all the locals.... The last little villages was one of my favortes where i stoped took of my shoes and just let the waves crash against my legs for half an hour looking at a breath taking view.... After that it was about 7pm back on a three hour train ride back to Florence we were soooo tried and ready for bed... we still all had to pack because we were all on our way to Venice the next morning at 7am ohhh fun NOT lol....
(day 4) Travel to Venice was pretty quick about a two hour train ride and it was okay besides being sooo cold that our lips were purple lol.... Soooo did we have an adventure in Venice or what it was sooo expensive and their was nothing avaliable and since we left it to the final night to book accomadation until 11pm till the night before we went Camping in Venice lol... It was actualy really cute and very small we basically in a box with misqutoes lol.... but we had a little kitchen which we saved money by cooking breakfast and our dinners....try craming 4 girls into a box with one bathroom and one mirror not so fun lol.... But all in all it was really cute and the price was right sooo it worked for us.... Sooo after we got their we went into town to get some lunch and see how much it cost to do the gondola rides..... we wondered for a few hours got gelato and found some steps by the water where men were rowing down the canals and man was it a meat market for us instead of us being the meat we were hooting and talking with them.... Probably some of the best looking men we have seen in all Europe was in Venice lol.... So after making videos and taking pics for about 4hours Shan and I caught an earlier bus back and grabed a bottle of wine SUPRSING lol and sat down to play cards and have a few drinks... WHen we had a knock at our dooor, where one of the guys that worked their look at my passport found out how old we were and knowing that their were 4 girls decided to move in lol.... well he brought free beer and wine and we didnt want to be rude sooo we all sat around talking till about 2am. They turned out to be really nice guys sooo that was good lol....
(Day5) We made a day trip into Verona which is where Juliettes house is and one of the first century colusseums was ever built.... We made our way to Juliets house where their is a bronze statue and it is said that if you place your hand on her right boob you have a new love in your lofe soon.... So of course Shan and I did this being the toursits we are lol.....

MISS YOU ALL!!!! xoxoxo
(Day 1...)(Luxury) Where do i being, sorry it has taken us so long to update but we have basically been non stop for the last 8days straight. Sooo Florence was amazing besides the train ride there we were very tired. Our first day we arrived there we had a 4 bedroom suite with our girlfriends from home so that was nice. When we arrived we were a little unsure of what it would be like, but to our suprise it was AMAZING! it wasnt just any ordinary hostel it was a damn HOTEL lol.... with our own flat screen tv and computer on top of that, oh plus we had free international calling to home soo this is why we all called home every few days while we were their lol! So after we all checked in and kind of settled it was about 5pm and we were all starving so we decided to go explore Florence.... We ended up spliting up for dinner in Florence and shan and I went to this little buffet dinner where you could write on the walls their.... Many travellers had written on the wall and many from Canada sooo of course we had too lol.... That was fun and a great little dinner and the owner sat and played guitar for us while we sat and enjoyed!
(Day 2) So on our first real day in Florence we ventured out to go explore some more and find the Duomo and the famous DAVID(the perfect male anatomy) Duomo is a church which we just stumpled upon and we went to the museum where david was but it was so expensive just to see the actually thing we found a replica of him in one of the squares where of course all the toursits go to visit lol.... Oh and in the square we were invaded by a bunch of asain tourists who for some reason were facsinated by our feet and us and started taking pictures lol(cazy asaians lol) After we saw what we wanted we decided to head to a few shops we had seen along the way and to go through the famous leather market of Florence which is about 2 blocks of little vendors set up... That was fun just to browse and doddle a bit lol.... Then we headed home around 4pm napped for abit and made our first meal in EUROPE and oh my it felt so good to cook again. pasta mhhhh Shan and I are going to have to wein ourselves of FUCKING carbs when we get home cuz thats all the Europeans eat! yet we don't understand why they stay so dam skinny lol....
(Day 3) Soo thrid day in Florence we did a day trip to Pisa and Cinque Terre. We started at 5am which weren't suppose to have to get up till 6am but someone didnt set the alarm clock right and we got up an hour earlier after only 3hours of sleep not soo fun anita!! haha and we all know am not a nice person in the am, needless to say i was NOT impressed lol.... So we made it to Pisa and were sooo overly tired we couldn't stop lauhing at all the stupid little shit along the way. oh and Shannon was on a mission to find....(can anyone guess) yes coffee lol.... so her new nickname now is (TANK) she never stops..lol we had our lunch for breakfast which was turkey sandwhiches which we found so funny yet sooo good at 7am lol.... SOoooo after we found shan coffe and she was happy again we walked 15mins and found Pisa.... It was really cool to see but we all werent going to pay like 11euros to go up a buliding which sinks a little every year no thanks lol.... We sat around their for about an hour because we had to wait to catch our train to Cinque terre, so Shan and I layed in the grass and found shapes in the clouds lol....
So Cinque Terre where do I begin its made up of 5 small villages along the coast line of Italy and might I say breath taking.... We stop at the first village and got out and walked around a little bit most of the towns you could walk around on trails but of course it was a fee to pay to walk them. Well we just walked the first one the shortest one because we were on a time limit.... But am so glad we did. we walked under a bridge which was famous their for the graffti and where all the lovers go to lock a lock to this look out point to ring ever lasting love. Then on to the second and third and fourth little villages which were all pretty much the same amazing views and awesome vibe from all the locals.... The last little villages was one of my favortes where i stoped took of my shoes and just let the waves crash against my legs for half an hour looking at a breath taking view.... After that it was about 7pm back on a three hour train ride back to Florence we were soooo tried and ready for bed... we still all had to pack because we were all on our way to Venice the next morning at 7am ohhh fun NOT lol....
(day 4) Travel to Venice was pretty quick about a two hour train ride and it was okay besides being sooo cold that our lips were purple lol.... Soooo did we have an adventure in Venice or what it was sooo expensive and their was nothing avaliable and since we left it to the final night to book accomadation until 11pm till the night before we went Camping in Venice lol... It was actualy really cute and very small we basically in a box with misqutoes lol.... but we had a little kitchen which we saved money by cooking breakfast and our dinners....try craming 4 girls into a box with one bathroom and one mirror not so fun lol.... But all in all it was really cute and the price was right sooo it worked for us.... Sooo after we got their we went into town to get some lunch and see how much it cost to do the gondola rides..... we wondered for a few hours got gelato and found some steps by the water where men were rowing down the canals and man was it a meat market for us instead of us being the meat we were hooting and talking with them.... Probably some of the best looking men we have seen in all Europe was in Venice lol.... So after making videos and taking pics for about 4hours Shan and I caught an earlier bus back and grabed a bottle of wine SUPRSING lol and sat down to play cards and have a few drinks... WHen we had a knock at our dooor, where one of the guys that worked their look at my passport found out how old we were and knowing that their were 4 girls decided to move in lol.... well he brought free beer and wine and we didnt want to be rude sooo we all sat around talking till about 2am. They turned out to be really nice guys sooo that was good lol....
(Day5) We made a day trip into Verona which is where Juliettes house is and one of the first century colusseums was ever built.... We made our way to Juliets house where their is a bronze statue and it is said that if you place your hand on her right boob you have a new love in your lofe soon.... So of course Shan and I did this being the toursits we are lol..... We wandered around their for a few hours and headed back to come home to leftovers and I was not in the mood for more pasta so i had yogart and gronola for dinner yummy lol....
(Day 6) On our final day in Venice we decided to go do alittle shopping wander the streets and get lost in the streets....
