I'm going to visit another city - Sintra, and also go to Cascais as well.

Early morning, going to the train station again. To take the train to go to the western city Sintra. Heard that it was so beautiful ... let's see.

after an hour, arrived. walk around first ... I'm not even sure what to check out.

Take 30 mintues to get the bloody bus from the queue, driving like from Central to Peak in the hill road, the tourist (portugese / spanish speaking, not sure where they from) were so excited and keep screaming "wooooo" when the bus turn but it was nothing to me ... I think they should come to Hong Kong to see what's really scary drive on the hill is

Suddenly the bus stop forever, and people starting to get off the bus ... huge traffic jam so the bus cannot move. but it won't be wait a bit and resume again, coz the car come holiday visit and park just everywhere so the bus can't move for a whole afternoon - for me of course get off and walk up. doh!

but get off and walk up wasn't the worse - the queue of the castle is more than 2 hours. Ok I won't wait, get back to another bus and visit the city instead.

The city is much better!

When I go to the side road I feel like the small store in Greece ... Oh yes Greece. Miss that place.

 

Vegetable soup and bread ... and the menu said, "portugal style grill fish" ... what's portugal style?!

the city centre is a nice walk.

 

the way walk back to the bus station

Oh my god ... Cascais is much nice than I expected. too bad it wasn't summer, not with friends ...

Anyways it was pretty. I enjoy the view with an ice-cream :P

 

Back to Lisbon after staying at the beach ...

So peaceful now.

walk around the area a little ... and look for a drink before my trip leaving Portugal ...

Finally I've got a coffee again.

At the middle of the city centre... listen to the music on the street. the view from day time and night time are so different.

Leaving hotel at early morning (5 something) tomorrow.
