Day 2 & Day 3 in far far away land...

I was really wrong about the gloominess and dullness of Lisbon city afterall... after discovering the other part of Lisbon when kangyih's portugese colleagues droved us out for dinner last night.

It seems that Portugal is famous for both its ancient and modern world combined in 1 city. The modern part of Lisbon was so beautiful and it was a pity my camera could not capture night scene well. It was so amazing, beyond any words i could use to describe the modern city. never seen such advance and modern architectures, buildings, city.

So anyway, now back to the ancient part of Lisbon, till i charge my camera for the modern Lisbon city this weekend.

Day 2

On our way to Santa Apolonia to get lost in Alfama... and to discover St. George Castle.

and along the way, we passed by the military museum, which we will not enter until we get the tourist pass this weekend :D

along the way to Alfama... and we were lost.

by the time we reached the castle it was almost sunset, and we were chased away by the guard. but later we met another nicer guard who told us we could come back tomorrow using the same pass, just to tell the other guard his name. -hope that works. will be returning to the castle later today. and here are some shots we took before the guard chased us away..

check this out, the moon on the side is always bigger and brighter!! hahaha it's true afterall... moon was like 50cent m'sian coin and super bright... could lit up the pathway. really pretty!

A random shot of us when we were lost, didnt know how to get back down to the city by foot. it was almost dark, and we couldnt see the map.. so we just walked and walked and walked.

and stumbled upon this famous monastery or a church, known as 'Se'. - only foundout when I saw it in the travel book later when i was back in the hotel. after walking a distance, we miraculously reached Baixa and enjoyed it's romantic night view. some of the food we had for dinner. each meal on average cost us about 40-50Euros. about RM200-250 per meal! i missssss m'sian food. for that price i was paying, i could get 1 table of 7-8 dish in a proper chinese restaurant. Abalone and sharkfin also can! and finally we found the subway and were on our way back to the hotel!!

Day 3

this is another famous monastery known as Jeronimos. Was built more than 500 years ago, and it took about 50 years to built..

now i can proudly challenge everyone, 'yes! the moon on the other side's bigger and brighterrr!!!' :D
