Repekaneuro - Porto

I am laughing out loud as i'm typing this because this trip was a year ago. We went to Porto from Lisbon (refer to the previous post). Here's a few good photos.
Just because Mili is wearing something that sounds like Azambuja.
The bridge was design by the same guy who was involved with the Eiffel Tower. I think.
Our host, Miguel.
Porto at night.
Meeting point. 
Had a cuppa at the cafe where J.K. Rowling spent most of her time drafting the Harry Potter series.
So we asked Israel if it's normal to wear colourful clothes here in Porto (because we got some weird faces from passerby) and he said "It is not normal"
Miguel made some time to take us & a Polish couchsurfer for a seafood dinner. They cooked rice together with the seafood.
Trippy passion flower in front of Miguel's apartment (to which i later found out actually a good medicine for BPD)

In the train from Lisbon to Porto. 


Porto is famous for their port wines. 
Our walking tour guides who were excited we're asians because: Selfie!

Repekaneuro - Lisbon

Every Metro station has different tile arts, it was amazing.
Diniz's place.
I can't remember the name but the filling tasted something like tuna with spinach. It was at this restaurant that we took a ride with the waiter back to our guest house, which was actually just 10 minute walk away. When dropping us off, in his english-portuguese slang, he said, "Good night girls! Enjoy your stay, take care & don't take any rides from strangers". Which we just did (sebab dia handsome. Teruk.)
Lisbon (or Lisboa) is Portugal's capital, also the largest city.
The streets in Lisbon are 99% very steep and made of slippery cobble stone.
Aku tak faham.

Tile-arts are EVERYWHERE, i was happy. There's even a tile museum but we didn't go.
We didn't get to join any walking tours in Lisbon so we took the bus instead. This is Belem.
Portugal was actually the main idea of the trip. It was Mili who suggested the place and while i was searching for flight tickets, i saw most of the flights' transit is in Amsterdam and since previously Mili insisted we HAVE to go to Amsterdam (it was in my bucket list too, i think i blogged about it here, somewhere) so i decided, Why not. It was an odd journey starting with Amsterdam-Lisbon-Porto-Amsterdam-Paris-Amsterdam. Trip orang kaya (yang miskin).
We didn't stay long in Lisbon, arrived on Aug 31 2014 and on Sept 2 we took the train to Porto.
