It is a long story, so please be patient)).
When I turned 30, i ve finally found piece with myself, i closed all old doors, underlined and felt free for something new and big in my life.
2011 was a great year for travelling: i was many countries and and had a lot of see and sun. Germany, Holland, Israel for the wedding of my great friend, Spain for my birthday, and we ve started to plan our August trip with my friend Nina. We thought about Norway (well, summer is the best time to go to Scandinavia) and about Portugal. I was in love with Portugal and Lisbon in advance for many many years already. So finally decision was made for see and sun.
The idea was to take a car and go along all shore, staying in different cities in hostels, to see as much as we can, but not book it in advance, be free and relaxed.
We took the flights through Brussels, so we had to spend 2 nights (forward and back) in Brussels. And you need to know that ... emm... we usually have quite specific trips with Nina... see "travelling". So we decided to spend nights in airport as we came very late and had a very early flight to Lisbon. We walked in Brussels, I showed all main things to Nina, choco, waffles piing boy, cherry bear and it was rainy, kind of cold and nasty... In the airport it was cold, almost no benches to sleep or at least to seat. It was the last time I did it! Never again!
And finally Lisbon!!! One of the most amazing and beloved cities for me!! So light, white, calm and relaxed.... I ve chose the hostel only by design, and we were surprised how central it was located- Lisbon Lounge hostel . It was our second day and his first day in Lisbon, he stayed the same hostel. Gorgeous Pedro cooked dinners in hostel every eve. Amazing, local, wine - 10 euros! Super! He came for dinner and I just said to Nina, that I am lost! that's it.... 2 days in Lisbon, streets, trams, sun, bars... i think i ve never drank so much red wine in my whole life as in Portugal)).
Then it was Cascais, nice little city, but quite cold water in the see, big waves (which is good for surfing . We took the phone numbers of each other and Nina and me drove further...
Next city was Sintra! I ve tried to drive mechanic drive car, and after I stopped at the opposite line, we decided that Nina will drive)). In case you also want a car trip in Portugal- notice: there is NO cars with automatic, it's only mechanic!)
Sintra is beautiful! It's a little city on the hills, with gardens, castles, old houses and walls... We stayed in hostel which was in 12 century house with garden and pool, everything was really old, but it gave only extra charm. Almaa hostel
It was my first experience with hostels and it's great! Of course i also like design hotels, but in summer and south countries hostels usually have a specific atmosphere, and it's nice to try it before you have family and grey hair)...
We ve met again in Sintra, and then with 2 cars we drove all over till Algavre, Loule. We were in Sesimbra, Setubal, Sines, Sagres, Lagos, Albufeira, and Loule. The was a little villa, 10 minutes drive to the see. It was always something going on. First eve there we had a meeting in bar, and just talked and met some new people. Next night we had a full moon party on the beach, with fire, songs, food, drink, naked swimming! Next evening was a birthday of the villa owner, really nice girl. All people from 2 villas were there, near the pool. That eve i broke my tooth in the pool. I know it is stupid and funny, but yes, i just jumped and when i opened my eyes there was floor of the fool and scratched it with my teeth. i do not know how i didn't broke my nose or crushed my lips... so next week I was marvelous with a broke tooth)), I say that it was a point where he felt in love completely He was trying to find the tooth' piece with the mask))). but no luck)).
That was one of the most amazing trips ever. But i was afraid to think that it could be something else than vacation thing.... He flew away 2 days earlier then we did. We had phone numbers and e-mails of each other....
