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).

Zoo


After the Oceanarium i went to the zoo. It was enormous and another fantastic outing. Both the Oceanarium and the Zoo are part of a tour bus (with the top cut off) that will drop you off anywhere and pick you up 40 mins later (comes by every 40 mins). The ticket last 24 hours, but most of the other things i had already seen. Of course, i took some pics of the Kangaroos hehe. It was a great zoo as all the animals were out showing off. It was all about them. Took a full 30 mins video of them all. Had lunch there too - could not resist Macdonalds.
