Lisbon is one of the most beautiful cities i have ever seen. it´s breathtakingly beautiful. i could live there. even though it´s the capital, compared to other capitals like delhi, madrid and berlin, it´s a very slow paced, calm and warm city.
we were there for five days and we just didn´t want to come back.
it was fun practising my portuguese. wasn´t bad at all. i understod them and they understood me.
what i liked best about lisbon is that it has a river, the river Tagus, mountains (in Sintra) and the ocean (in Cascais). and the blue skies are so peaceful.
also sang the fado in a bar with other fadistas!
so on the whole i´m thrilled and waiting to get back.
haven´t been able to upload all the pics so here are (very) few pics:
