Lisbon from the Top

Portugal is a hilly country, Lisbon city was made cutting the hills. When you will walk around the city you will see that they do not have any straight road to walk, all the way is up and down. The old city of Lisbon has the highest view point from where you can enjoy the whole view of the city. to reach the top you can either take a Tuk Tuk ride or just walk yourself. There are alternate rides as well like tram, bus and taxi. I have walked little bit at the beginning. You can enjoy the mid view from the point called Miradoura Das portas de sol. This is the view point from a terrace bar.

To reach the highest point of the city I had to take a tuk tuk ride which was for 20 mins if I walked it would have taken me almost 1 hour to reach the top. the highest point is called Miradoura de santa catarina. They highest point is very windy you feel the wind hard there. They view is worth all the struggle and the endless ride. You see the miniature of the Lisbon from the top. you can see miniature of all the tourist attraction from the top. The city looks exceptionally colorful from the top. For the tuk tuk ride paid 20 euros which was worth the view.

I passed the check point and I was hungry as I did not had anything on the flight. I bought a chicken salad from Subway and I walked to the gate. I only had half an hour to board the flight so I ran and stood in the line. I was almost the last one in the line. By the time my turn came to board the flight the flight was full so all other passengers have to fly by the next flight. I was s...

Me and My friends went for coffee after our class. We were talking about travelling and cultures. Suddenly, one of my friend suggested that why don;t we go for a road trip on coming weekend. spontaneously, we made the plan that we will visit Hamburg as that is the nearest destination from Leeuwarden.

Walk around the Belgian streets

Best part about the trip to Brussels was walking around the city. Every street has its own beauty. when you walk around the street you see the different cultures. The city has beauty of mix cultures. You will observe different shopping streets, I must say Brussels is full of thrift shops. There is food street where you can find almost every cuisine however, try Belgian steaks. Every street has its own beauty. However, I loved the food street. I traveled in summer hence I could not see the night life. I have heard that night life is mesmerizing in Brussels. That's all for today's post. In next post I will talk about the famous church in Belgium.
