Destination: Lisbon Part 1

Date: 16 - 19 January 2012

Sorry for the lack of posts people. I was really busy when I got back to work after CNY (Chinese New Year) and also being lazy after a 2 week trip to Europe.


This is Terminal C of BCN (Barcelona). I flew via Qatar Airways KUL-DOH-BCN as that's the nearest I can get to Portugal. The terminal was really small and simple, like LCCT, just not as busy as you can see. It's about 3pm by the time this picture was taken. I was having my late lunch of sandwiches & tea.

My flight from BCN to LIS costs about €42.99. Not a bad price though. Flight was about 2 hours. Flight was on time as well. 





This was my room and it's situated at Rua Augusta, the central of the most central location. Amazing isn't it? It costs me only USD36 per night. The room was spacious and incredible. I loved it!

This is the bathroom where I was staying. It's also really clean!



Now, this is Rua Augusta, that's what I see when I get to the front door of the flat. :D


That's my breakfast. €4.50. Hot chocolate at €2.50 and the pastry is €2. Pastry is with a slice of ham with melted cheese. So yummy, the cheese just melts in your mouth!


I had to stand to eat my breakfast but that's how they do it in Lisbon & Rome.



This is the Rossio or Praça de D. Pedro IV or Pedro IV Square. I was sitting right opposite the square, surfing the internet on my tablet. At that time, I just bought a prepaid sim card for about €15 whereby €10 goes to 300mb of data plan and the balance would go to calls & sms. A little expensive but I am addicted to the internet, and the place that I was staying, requires me to pay €15 for wifi for my whole stay and I'd rather have it on the go so I can use my GPS incase I get lost, ya know. And also checking in on Facebook (obviously). Oh yea, it's Vodafone by the way.
