法罗,葡萄牙


旅行

就是走

不停的移动

这也是一种乐趣

你永远不知道,接下来的未来是什么

Update my itinerary and some bits and bobs

Porto, Portugal
Lisbon, Portugal
Faro, Portugal
Seville, Spain
Madrid, Spain

This is my third night in Madrid.

Folks, if you wish to stay in Madrid, look no other place than Pop hostel. I got a 2-bed room for the price of 6-bed mixed dorm, with individual bathroom, hot shower, WiFi. With 14 Euro is the by far the best hostel I ever live in.

Madrid is famous for, well, it depends. For one thing, for me it's still small enough to cover the city by foot. You can actually save your metro (10 trips cost ?6.4 euro) for flamenco. La Carboneria in Seville is free and I guess must be well recommended in travel book (yes it's in my lonely planet book), it's packed with travellers. You hardly see any locals. Still it's worthy to spend an hour there.

Madrid's metro is clean and quite easy to navigate, as compared to London's tube. Hmm, I like to see our's is as good as those.

Having only live two days in Madrid, I think Spanish really like monuments, like British lah... ... You got 88 monuments in Madrid city centre alone, that's what I will call obsession. No offence, my spanish friends. He said monument helps strengthen the community, that's all.

Will try to upload some photos asap.

Faro, Portugal


在法罗沙滩上,顾着玩,照片没拍几张。唯一一张似乎能见人的。
不过,那天哈勃那本书的阅读进展倒是这礼拜以来最好的。我看了有八十几页。

Faro, Portugal


黄金鸟,又叫 golden bird。免费的个人豪华洗手间。Robert 教我的。很好用。

Faro, Portugal

I must be crazy. I left Lisbon in a hurry, and make it right down to Faro. Situated in Algarve, Faro perhaps is not the most beautiful city but still spending four-hour on train is worthy. Since I want to chase the sun so Faro is perfect. I must say the result is good. Arriving at the end of peak season is just pure luck, I didn't work on it. The beach is well, not empty but much less tourist than I expected.

Too much sun and you get sun-burnt.

Met Zulu the Zimbabwean and Robert from Switzerland in train station as soon as I reach Faro. We catch the same train anyway. One great fun about backpacking is that you meet nice people now and then. We had some wonderful time together.

Left Faro on the 25th of September. Photo to follow and I am now posting this piece in Seville, Spain.

I made up my mind. I am not going for any bullfighting. Seeing the Muzeum and Bullring is good enough.

船
废话。除了是船还能是什么

里斯本


女生要小心了。里斯本有很多诱惑。我在门外徘徊很久,狠下心肠才踏进去。
在里斯本的两天时间,这是我最大的收获。

Castle of Sao Jorge


Frankly, I know beginning to learn that one must not always follow blindly what had been told in your travel book. Perhaps it is just me, since I am not familiar with european history, I don't quite appreciate this grant castle located on the highest point of the city of Lisbon. According to my travel book this is a must-see.




but the view from the hill is just splendid.
