Pildikesi Lissabonist

Lõuna-Aafrika tundus tõepoolest kodune, ent Lissaboni (ja Palmelaga) ei anna seda muidugi võrrelda. Lissabon lihtsalt ONGI minu teine kodulinn ja kuigi mitte kõik minu Portugali mälestused pole roosamannakarva, tekitab see linn minus lihtsalt äärmiselt hea ja sooja tunde. Terve see nädal, mille seal veetsin, käisin ma ringi totra naeratusega. Mul oli nii-ii hea meel tagasi olla.

South Africa almost felt like home already, but you can't compare it with Lisbon (or Palmela). Lisbon just IS my second home city and even though not all my memories from Portugal are that great, this city just has a special place in my heart. For the week I spent there I was walking around with a stupid grin on my face. It just felt so extremely nice to be back.

Sel korral tegin ma läbi ka kõik kohustuslikud turistiatraktsioonid, mida ma eelmisel korral teha ei raatsinud. Sinna alla käisid ka okeanaariumi külastus ja gondliga sõitmine Tejo ääres.

PS. Selle reklaamipildi peal pole Madonna toyboy Jesus Luz.

This time I had to go through with all the touristy stuff I didn't do the last time (as volunteers are not very rich people). Touristy stuff included a visit to the oceanarium and a ride with a cable car at the Tagus river.

PS. No it's not Madonna's toyboy Jesus Luz on that picture.

Tejo äärde teele olid mingid huvitavad kirjad tekkinud:

Some signs written on the road next to Tagus river:

Loomulikult sisaldas Lissabonis käik ka kohustuslikku Belem'is käiku. Enne pasteis de Belem'ide kallale asumist tegime ka väikese kultuuritiiru. Pildil Torre de Belem:

When you're in Lisbon, you cannot miss a visit to Belem. Before going at the pasteis de Belem, we had a little "walk of culture". Here's Torre de Belem:

Portugalis käies ei saa üle ega ümber azulejodest:
Portugal is ALL about azulejos:


Nagu näha, siis portugallased värve ei karda:
Portuguese are not afraid of colours:
