Welcome

Hi everyone. Well here we go. As you all know - this has been my dream holiday for a long time now. I hope you enjoy this trip as well. I hope to see the "real" Portugal and share this with you all.

I will try to update you regularly on where I am and what I have seen. I will also give you a brief history of places I see. I am also going to try to speak Portuguese as much as possible. Mas só falo um pouco de português.

I am on a mission to discover the essence of Portugal. Portugal's history - both glorious and sometimes not so glorious - has fascinated me for years. I hope you find this trip informative and fun.

Just a short note to acknowledge that this trip is a result of the passing of my mother, and she will be remembered throughout this adventure.

My first stop is Lisbon (Lisboa).

Lisbon Tours


Hi all. Well it is coming to a close. Since I last posted I have been on many tours of Lisbon. The day before yesterday, I went on a tram tour of old Lisbon. The tram was one of the oldest in Lisbon and i had a nice time. When I was lining up to buy my ticket I got talking to a couple. When I asked where they were from it turned out that they have a house in Nambucca Heads. Out of all the people I have met they were probably the most unsociable lol. There goes my theories on hospitality. On the tram you are given a set of headphones and the different languages are on different channels. Very interesting history lesson. Enjoyed it very much.
