Very interested to hear how your time in Portugal was. I grew up with a lot of Portuguese people and they were all very friendly. Combine that with the awesome weather and I’m sure it’s a pretty cool place to visit.
I agree with MM–I’m very much interested in hearing about your trip to Portugal.
Considering you were traveling so much, I think you did a great job with spending!
More in than out, it’s bound to be a winner. Well done ……
I can’t believe how inexpensive that bus fare is.
Also,
“$13.09 (€10) segway rental”?
What in the what? Looks like Wednesday was a good time!
Hahaha yeah… that segway rental was interesting. :) You’ll hear all about it in my Portugal trip recap post tomorrow.
Taking the trains doesn’t seem to be very expensive. Are they mostly short distances?
Our train trips have lasted anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours. It´s certainly a cheap way to travel, especially if you can get discounts and sales. But a lot of the time, I´ve found that flights can be cheaper in Europe, and take much less time.
Thats pretty nice! You have been able to do a lot in 6 days in that small amount of money! Loved the way you spend money, Very wise indeed!
