Today is the day of my departure! Finally I was leaving Moscow. With a short stop in Amsterdam (but I thought it would be enough to wander the city).
First of all, we've got lost on the way to the airport. My godmother decided to give me a ride. Well, what else can you expect from 3 blondes ?:)
I was so scared to be late for the flight. But we arrived just in time!
Fell asleep in the plane (absolutely didn't plan it).
The weather was really promissing in Amsterdam and I thought "why should I stay here?"
I bought a ticket and... get on the wrong train. I realised it when I was 7 stops away from the airport. Good girl! As a result I didn't have time to get to the city center... the hardest thing was to get back, cause their timetable was in dutch. P.s.i can't read it.
After all I jumped on another train and...got back to the airport.
Next time I will think twice before leaving the airport. Cause who knew that they got great lounge with a nice view and Starbucks coffee.
The next flight was to Lisbon. I feel in love with the city!!! So colourful , so sunny! It was hard to find the metro, but on my way I saw ....an ocean! For the first time!
Finally, I found the metro. It was easy to buy a ticket. The station is new and really nice. Reminded me of Parisian metro. But one thing you should know in the metro -trains are twice shorter than the platform! So sometimes you have to run after the train just to get inside.
Less than 30 mins and I arrived to the metro station from which there is a fast bus -rapida.
Who knew that it would be that hard to find the station, cause there were soooo many buses and nobody knew "anything about rapida". Amazing! +my bag opened and I couldn't close it (thanks for transportation!)
Finally I found the station which was just under the bridge.
One hour ride and here I was in ... Obidos. It got dark. My bag was still opened. It was colder than during the day time... and no sign of taxi! Lucky am I!
Hungry, alone in Portugal and not many people speaks English... somehow I asked a woman to order the taxi. 15 mins later arrived a driver. Using mimic I explained him that I wanted to stop near supermarket. 5 mins later we had that stop. I decided to leave my bags in that car *sooo wise!
I entered the supermarket and had no idea what I wanted to buy. Bought not so many things. Ran outside and ... there was no car! Later found out that he just parked it some metres away from the entrance.
Finally, I was on the way to the hotel!!! So happy to get here and know that I have a room with an ocean view!!! So strange to fall asleep hearing the sound of waves, but I like it!
