My day in Lisbon was AMAZING! I got up fairly early, for me, and went out to the Castle of S. Jorge, an old castle up on the hill overlooking the city. After the longest ticket line ever, I got into the castle grounds. It was so beautiful up there, you can see from my photos that you can see the entire city from up there! I spent about an hour walking around the castle and then finally into it (and up it!) it was a super relaxing morning. After lunch I we decided to see the rest if the city by tram (they look exactly like the ones in San Fran) it was like a freaking roller coaster going through the city on that thing!! I though we were gonna break down trying to get up some of those hills. Nothing too exciting has happened today aside from normal sight seeing stuff :)
Now do you want to hear how stupid i am? During lunch I decided to look at my email confirmation for my flight tomorrow, you know, to see what time I leave and all. (remember I'm going to Athens tomorrow?!) well it turns out I was on crack when I made the reservation.. Yep. Cause My flight leaves at 7:39am. Crack is the only reasonable explanation. Why else would I book a flight so that I have to be at the airport at 5;30AM???!! Oh, and the best part is, the airport shuttle doesn't start running until 6:30am. Hmmm I'm a really good planner huh? I think I'm so used to trains, when you get there 20 min before it leaves, that I forgot planes are different. Plus I'm in Portugal. And the metro doesn't run to the airport. (seriously lisbon what's up with that?) so now you're probably wondering what my plan is, seeing as I have to be AT the airport all bright eyed and bushy tailed by 5:30am. I'm Just not going to sleep. I'm still partially in Spain time, meaning I can't fall asleep before 2 am (and yes, I still siesta) so another couple hours awake shouldn't be too hard. There is no way I'm catching a cab from the hostel to the airport, it would be at least 20 euros. So I'm taking the metro halfway, to a big plaza, and then I'll try to catch a cab from there. I'm going to allow myself a lot of time to find a cab, but in case none are passing by when I'm out there, there are a few hotels in the plaza so plan B involves me asking them to call me a cab. This plan is foolproof right? Errrrr let's hope so :) the best part is that it's all going down at like 4:30 in the morning.
If all goes according to plan I'll be in athens, Greece at 3pm tomorrow!
