We took a bus from Faro to Lisbon(3.30 Hrs). Arrived at 11:30. Our hosts Sofia and Nuno picked us up and we went to a place for a little snack to munch on. Then we went into the sightseeing immediately. Went to the church, tower, and a number of places around the city. They invited us to a friends birthday party. It was being held later at night in a Portuguese Restaurant. When we got back to there place we only had 15 minutes to rest and then we had 15 more to get ready for the party. When you fill your schedule with too many things to see or do and don't include lag or rest time then it usually is too overwhelming. At the end of the night no matter what you're doing you just want to be in bed and sleeping because of everything from the day. The birthday party and dinner was very nice but I felt like a Zombie. I was so exhausted.
Day 48 Sintra
Nuno and Sofia took us on a nice tour of Sintra. Its an area north of Lisbon. We visited the most western part of Europe and it has a beautiful coast line. The wind was very powerful you had to yourself through just to walk. Elina and I cooked a Swedish dish for Sofia and Nuno. I can't remember the name of it but it was potato pancakes with lingonberry jam. Even with how great of a cook Elina is we had problems with the cooking. After awhile we got it working and it was yummy. Sofia baked some Brazilian bread that was scrumptious.
