Day 65

Only 300 days to go! Doing this project has me literally counting the days away which is both good and bad. On the one hand I know I still have 300 days of traveling too look forward to, but on the other I know I have already burned through 65 days. Im not sure if…

Day 64

Capela do Senhor Da Pedra! My Couchsurfing host Joana told me about this church, so today I decided to hire a bike and try and find it. It was a bit of a ride from the Porto centre but well worth it. The bike track goes all the way along the beach and takes about…

Day 63

Crazy kids jumping off crazy bridges. Both days here in Porto I have seen kids jumping from the Iron bridge in which is really dang high (see the bottom part of the bridge on Day 62). I have realised there is one thing that I hate about portugal. That is that everything is so interesting,…

Day 62

Wow, talk about walking. I think I must have covered about 25km in porto today. My couch surfing host and I walked into the city centre (at least 5 km). Then I did the free walking tour, and bumped into some travellers who I met in Lisbon (another 5km), and after lunch I covered at…

Day 61

Obrigado Lisbon! today I say goodbye to Lisbon. This city is amazing, it has definitely been one of, if not my favourite city so far. I love Its winding streets and the characters who fill them, its cheap beer, Barrio Alto (although it does get a bit repetitive after 3 nights in a row), portuguese…

Day 60

Today was my final full day in Lisbon so I took a huge walk through all the winding streets and alleys for several hours. I could easily spend days doing this here, there is something interesting around every corner. I took a bunch of photos but had real trouble deciding between 3 really good shots….

Day 59

So long Super Bock Super Rock! I am now back in Lisbon, it feels good to not be covered in Dust and dirt from dread to toe. If you were looking for Fraser and I during Super Bock Super Rock it was easy to find us. We were the guys covered in Dust, Dirt and sand,…

Day 58

The final day of Super Bock Super Rock also happens to be my Birthday! I am not sure how or when I took this photo, but it sums things up nicely I think haha. BRMC and Tomahawk were amazing yesterday, but tonight QOTSA were spectacular. I haven’t been in a mosh pit that big since I was…

Day 57

At Super Bock Super Rock the beer (and wifi) comes to you! I couldn’t get over how amazing this was, it is the best thing since sliced bread. There is nothing worse than loosing your spot at a music festival because you need a refill. These dudes carry around kegs and wifi hotspots through the crowds of festival goers,…

Day 56

SUPER BOCK SUPER ROCK!! Fraser and I bumped into a Brazilian girl named Jess in the hostel before heading to super rock and decided to all go together. The morning was spent getting supplies ready, washing clothes, and figuring out how to get to the festival, you know, all that fun stuff. The festival is crazy dusty….
