Lisbon and Sintra: Portugal March 13th-15th, 2008

My next country: PORTUGAL


This is the boat we found that we fell in love with. The captain said it was okay if we hopped aboard and took some pictures. Above is the big room in the hostel where the nine of us girls slept. Next to that is the huge monument with the explorers all down the side. Below is the view from on top of the monument looking out over the water which leads to the Atlantic Ocean.
The picture of the man getting squished by the door was something found in the metro. Seriously, if you don´t move, it won´t wait for you. I have found this out personally, and the only reason I am here to tell the tale is because my dear friend saved me from the jaws of death at the last moment. Always take a buddy!!
Below you can see a couple pictures from when we were in Sintra. I climbed on the wall, so I could get a better view. Afte we hiked up the mountain, you could see the entire city of Sintra.
The video is of me swinging from the vines on the way up the mountain. Apparently some of the workers below us prevented our friends from following the way we went and told them there was already some crazy tourists that had gone that way who were swinging from trees. Ooops...
