Portugal (Caiscas and Lisbon)

Our next stop after Madrid was supposed to be Barcelona. We both were sad that we decided to cut out Portugal all together and finally I said that I really still wanted to see Portugal. So we started to do a little more research and decided what the heck lets just go! So we book everything the day of and left! We took a night bus (which was absolutely awful) to Lisbon and then took a train to a small fishing town about 30 minutes outside of Lisbon. Tom had already been there three years ago to visit a friend so he was very excited to show me around. I instantly fell in love with this small town and it quickly moved to the top of one of my favorite places I have ever been! We spent three full days in Caiscas, PT. We went to different beaches along the coast, ate AMAZING India food, (Twice, yes we went to the same restaurant twice! You know your food was good when you are still thinking about it the next day!) We also rented bikes and rode along the coast up to Guincho, which is known for a beautiful beach and good surfing. We were so sad to say goodbye to this beautiful little town. The fun tile architecture and beautiful cobblestone streets will forever be on our hearts!

Ghandi's Palace (Best Indian food ever)










Up next, Lisbon! We only had about half a day in Lisbon so we were only able to see the most important things. The town had similar architecture to Casicas and Prague we thought.  This is one city that we would love the opportunity to go back to and explore again.
