2016.09.21 (Nazar\u00e9 \u2013 Lisbon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well it\u2019s confirmed that after more than a week on the road, my recent investment in travel socks made of Merino wool really don\u2019t retain any foot odor. Jenny is simply thrilled by it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After breakfast at the hotel, we felt obligated to actually take a brief stroll on the beach and take a few pictures to remember our stay in Nazar\u00e9. After reviewing more closely the town map, we realized that the bus station was less than 5 minutes away as opposed to our 15 minutes walk upon our arrival. Our one and a half hour bus ride was a breeze with wifi on-board. From the Lisbon bus station, we took the metro from across the street. After two metro connections, we were already at the door of our rented apartment in Lisbon \u2013 a good hour before our scheduled check-in! Needless to say, Jenny did not like to wait for Paulo. “The apartment owner was better to be on time!” As mentioned earlier, we were concerned about the high rating this apartment had on Booking.com. Paulo showed up promptly at 4:00pm and showed one of his three apartments that he owned, formerly his father\u2019s property. After a few minutes touring the place, we quickly fell in love with it. Jenny was keen on trying out the nice washing machine! Paulo was very friendly, took his time to explain everything in the apartment and was informative about life in Portugal, Lisbon in particular. We then understood his high score on Booking.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After some snack and beverages replenishment at a nearby grocery store, we spent a few hours enjoying our new flat. We made our accommodation reservations and bought our bus tickets for our next travel segment to \u00c9vora. We headed out for our evening meal at a local seafood restaurant. At the restaurant, we chatted with a British fellow working at York University on a business trip in Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n
