Alexandre & Carolina- how can we thank you enough? We were met by them in their gorgeous (understatement!) apartment. After a long drive- Alexandre was kind enough to take Tim to our car and show him the most convenient and cheap place to park it for our stay. Meanwhile Caroline filled myself and my friend on the best parts to eat, play, and sight see. Little did we know that Alexandre was way ahead of us and had already taken Tim on a tour of the best bakery, gelato and Portuguese tarts in Lisbon.

Three days is not enough- Lisbon is incredible and our generous hosts could have given us advice to spend at least a fantastic month in Portugal!

I almost forgot to mention that we were greeted with juice, bread and delicious cheese because this was only the beginning of the amazing hospitality we witnessed. The place is beautifully decorated as well as functional (I'm still dreaming about owning that arm chair!!). I only hope we can return one day and also to see Alexandre and Carolina in Melbourne so we can return the favor.
