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!!!!
