We arrived yesterday afternoon in sunny Lisbon after an 8 hour coach trip from Madrid. It was certainly more enjoyable than the 16 hour over night train journey from Paris to Madrid, mainly because it was during the day and the coach was quite comfortable with leather seats and air conditioning. We also had the company of a couple of Kiwi's from Napier.
Our final night in Madrid was spent at the Santiago Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid. The game was a Champions League game against Dynamo Kyev from Ukraine. It was a cracker. A 5-1 win for the home side infront of a near capacity 80,000. Six goals, a red card and an opposition goalkeeper getting knocked out cold infront of us! We'll put some photos online when we get the chance.
Our hostel in Lisbon for the next two nights (Lisbon Lounge Hostel) is pretty nice. It's pretty funky and modern and has a nice lounge area to chill out in. The crowd is really friendly there too. From there we move onto the Residencia Luena for two nights. And for three nights after that at the Lisbon Poets Hostel.
We'll update more when we have time!
Adeus from Lisboa.
Love,
Dale & Sheryl
