Destination: Lisbon Part 2

Note: I apologize for the long delay on this trip. Was really busy with life!

Date: 16 - 19 January 2012

This will be mostly a pictorial post. I got the ticket for the hop on and hop off bus. Obviously, I've forgotten to take a picture of the ticket but if anyone wants to know, it's the Yellow Bus.

I purchsed the Lisbon Premium 4 in 1 ticket but surprisingly, I lost the ticket while eating lunch. Apparently I emptied one of the bag's pockets into the bin (tissues and what not) :(....

Anyhow, pictures galore!

Opps.... my fingers!

That's Rua Agusta (the end part anyway).

That's what beyond Rua Augusta. It's the sea way on the right of the picture.

Sorry, I've forgotten what building this is, probably a church or something!

Don't judge me for having Japanese food in Lisbon. And thank you lunch for making me ticketless.

This is my most favourite place in Lisbon! It's the MUDE. It's a furniture/fashion museum. It showcases popular clothes/furnitures from the past up till today! Too bad pictures aren't allowed inside. It's free to enter though!

Rua Augusta again, lots of shops here. :D Manage to buy some great value stuff here!

Nice or not?

I walked from Rua Augusta to here. It's just about 5 mins away. Lovely buildings.

My favourite shot of the day!

Look at the topping! It's really good though. I totally recommend it. Bistro: Samadi, House of Cool. I only had 2 slices coz it was THAT filling. I told the waiter to get the rest to go, so I can have it for breakfast the next day :P I don't remember how much it was but I think it was about €10 for the pizza.

And that concludes my Lisbon trip! Next, Madrid....

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.
