lisbon- hot water





Could not find the pda. Only to be found in the big luggage when arrived at the hotel. Room in seville hotel was very small, like the ones in genting highland.

Next day, the set off to portugal. The travel to lisbon took 6.5 hour started 9.30am, arriving 3pm, portugese time which is one hr behind spain time. Portugal is much smaller than spain, but the scenery along the way to lisbon seemed more beautiful. Stop over half way for lunch. Had fried rice with peas and squash soup.

Shopping in nearby bullring shop. Only the underground shops opened, the rest of the floor closed. Then took metro to campo grande. Shop in underground shops and cross the street to bullring shop. Only a few shops opened. Looked like business as whole was very bad, worse than spain.

Dinner at 7.30am, surpringly came with soup, salad and fish and cooked risoto. So far in the trip, the hotels only provided soup once. Don't understand why soup could be so big a deal. And the main course had always been fish or chicken. The indian couple wanted hotel water, the waiter gave them, ice, coke, more cold water, tea... but hot water. And the waiters got very irritated. Until some one told the waiter hot water in spanish.

- travelling in a foreign land, without knowing the local language, will not get you hot water, instead may land you in HOT WATER.
