Was up early and off to the Museum of contemporary art. T'was ok. Some pieces I enjoyed and lotsa portraits too. Due to works on one of the exhibitions, we had to go to a separate building for another exhibition and it was neat as it encouraged you to touch things. Wasn't my favourite of … Continue reading Lots of walking in Lisbon
Sampling Lisbon’s beach

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
Day 2 of 3 Bopping around Barcelona
Woke up late and after figuring out Park Guell tickets, we went to the Federal cafe. Found this one on Google just from roaming around the map app and seeing what pops up. Felt like I was in Melbourne! Not surprising as the name is from a town in NSW so maybe they are influenced. … Continue reading Day 2 of 3 Bopping around Barcelona
Day 1 in Barcelona
Out at about 11 and got to Milk bar and cafe and it's by owners from San Francisco apparently. Super nice and fun decor. Some spanish influences in the brunch but more traditional brunch. Chorizo hash by table share buddies. Looks good. The eggs benny was very nice but I didn't like the dish that … Continue reading Day 1 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
Back to Seville…
After a healthy breakfast, T and I organised ourselves and then checked out. Off to the train station with an uneventful stroll there in the heat. Just like in France, we rocked up to one of the machines and purchased a ticket, easy peasey. Select English by hitting the UK flag, select destination, single / … Continue reading Back to Seville…
