Chiado

Heute sind wir mit der Fähre rüber nach Lissabon. 30 Minuten dauert die Fahrt.

Die Stadt ist toll. Allerdings waren überall vor den Sehenswürdigkeiten lange Schlangen. Wir sind ja Gott sei Dank eher die Besucher, die sich alles von draußen ansehen. Im Hafen lagen 2 riesige Kreuzfahrtschiffe. Vielleicht war deshalb so viel los in der Stadt. Die Pasteis de Nata aus Belém hätten wir gerne probiert. Die Leckerei soll in dem Kloster dort erfunden worden sein und eine Bäckerei direkt in der Nähe backt angeblich noch nach dem ursprünglichen Rezept. Mehr als 50.000 Stück gehen dort täglich über die Theke. Aber auch hier war die Schlange so lang, dass wir uns das nicht antun wollten.Leer más

Today was a very chill day, we took a 4 hour train to Porto at 11:30 today. Had a like e-scooter ride there going past some Familiar sights! But it's so weird to find what train you actually have to take. Maybe it's just different here, but nowhere on the ticket does it say the train. We had to ask a full Portuguese person, and they just said linhe 3 or something. We would have missed the train if it wasn't for that. But the ride was smooth, and we had a nice British woman who entertained us for the ride. When we got Porto we tried to find our hostel. It was so strange because it was inside the train station. But then we walked around a little bit and found an old church in the city center which had a Lazer light show which was so spectacular. But before we went to that we had a classic porto dish called francesinha. Holy shit that was heavy. It's a sandwich filled with different meets covered in cheese and soaked in a beer and red wine sauce. It was good, but it did destroy me. It was very heavy and too much for me. Personally, only having it once is perfect for me.It's weird seeing these modern light shows in a church that was built so many years ago. After having one beer, which was 8.50 euros!!! Way too much, we went to bed since I am trying to feel better. It was a good start to a new beautiful city.Leer más
