Big day in Lisbon

After a good sleep in and a big breaky, off i went to the Mercado da Baixa. Small market but still plenty of little stalls: jewelry, honey, nuts, meats being BBQed, etc. I walked by a shoe store and saw a lady ask her partner if these strappy, yellow leather looked nice and he had … Continue reading Big day in Lisbon →

Getting to know the Lisbon Airport

Was up at 430am to get on the Aerobus to BCN. Very easy! Buy your ticket online or on board (cash on board only), wifi available (good connection overall) and pretty direct with a few stops in the large squares from the city straight to the airport and at only 5,60€. Seemed much easier than … Continue reading Getting to know the Lisbon Airport →

Final full day in Barcelona

El casal for breakfast. Cheap, yummy and simple hot breakfast. Friendly fellow running the shop there open from 7am! He's from France and was very quick too. Would come again! Shuttle to Park Guell from Alfons X station was easy. I guess they make it simple so more people would come! Lots of street vendors … Continue reading Final full day in Barcelona →

27 hours in Grenada

We’re up early and on the Alsa bus to Grenada. The screen looked like it was showing our bus at terminal 23 but when we went over, T saw the Alsa bus at terminal 26 said to Grenada! It was confusing and a bit stressful but luckily people were friendly and helpful. So, tip: keep … Continue reading 27 hours in Grenada →

Hot days in Seville

It was a hot evening in Seville and even with the fan I found it hard to sleep soundly. Sweating through the night is not my idea of a comfy sleep! I had hoped for a sounder sleep but it's been very, very warm... even with windows open too! Anyhow, T & I started out … Continue reading Hot days in Seville →

Another big day in Paris , day 2 of 2

After we made some simple breakfast, we went to the Orange store to get T’s phone hooked up with my SIM. We had to wait a bit but it was worth it as the employee was friendly and helpful. After that, we popped into Hardware Society! This is the second branch from Melbourne. Delicious coffee … Continue reading Another big day in Paris , day 2 of 2 →

Hoofing it to Helsinki (and Lappeenranta)

T and I woke up at 5am and get ourselves organised with a quick cup of coffee and busted out of our Airbnb in Stockholm for the airport. Luckily, the Stockholm local public transport is very reliable and fast. We zoomed into T-Central (aka Stockholm Central station) and then split ways as I could take … Continue reading Hoofing it to Helsinki (and Lappeenranta) →
