Winter Holiday – Lisbon’s Adventure

by

This would probably be the last post of my winter holiday. I guess it is time to face reality again, which I’m so not looking forward to it! Well, guess all good times must come to an end. 1 holiday ends, another 1 will come soon =D

On the last day in Lisbon before we take a flight back to Paris, we decided to rent a car and get around the city with the help of a GPS. It was a weird experience for me when Mr W asked me to drive the car for 10 mins on the left side. No wait..it was more like a traumatic experience! This is my 1st time driving a car on the left side and on the right side of the road!! But I must say it was fun until you hit traffic! Not so fun anymore with a non-automatic gear car.

We went to Almada to visit Cristo Rei. To cross over to Almada from Lisbon city, we have to go on a bridge called 25 de Abril Bridge and it looks exactly like Golden Gate Bridge from SF! In fact, it was built by the same company that built Golden Gate Bridge actually. The Cristo Rei is a replica of the 1 in Rio De Jeneiro which was built facing Lisbon in 1937.

Well, I wouldn’t want to have you read such a long blog and get bored. I’ll rather show you how beautiful the day was through my picture.
