Mixed feelings.

I'm feeling very excited right now since I'll be leaving tomorrow night on my hols to sunny Lisbon. But also so sad since this means I won't be able to natter to you all my sweet friends for such a long time. I'll miss you very much! *sniff sniff* Hope you'll be good girls when I'm away. *whistle* If anyone likes to receive a postcard please pm me

Oh yeah yeah yeah we'd loved to meet ya (that is me and a very good friend of mine from uni). We can perhaps go to a nice restaurant and pub in the evening? What do you think? If it's ok for you then I need your telephone number to get in touch with you to set the date and meeting point.

Lucky you, I think on c19 you mentioned a London trip too?

Have a great time! I liked Lisbon. The transportation is good (trams, metro, buses), it's easy to get around.

Some suggestions:
If you're interested in listening to/learning about fado, but don't have time to track down a good place to hear it, consider the fado museum. Admission: 2.5 euros

I liked wandering the old expo grounds. Take the subway and get off at Oriente station. Walk down a few blocks, towards the water. There are a lot of gardens and urban art around, and some attractions (aquarium, cable car, tower, pavillions). The Vasco da Gama mall is across the street if you want to do some shopping.

Baixa - this neighbourhood has lots of pedestrian streets

Alfama - where all the steep little streets are, the castle is in this neighbourhood

Belem - there's a monastery with cool architecture, tower, gardens, and the Monument to Discoveries in this area.

I didn't get to do any daytrips, but I've heard Sintra and Cascais are nice.

Yes I know I'm a lucky girl. Now to Lisbon and then in August the city trip to London, together with Ania and Kiteflier. I'm spoiled rotten. As for Lisbon thanks for the many tips. I already had a few of my folks, but one can't have too many. I think I'll have a blast of a time. They're so many beautiful things, places and spots to see *says she whilst running around like a madwoman to finish her packing on time*
