Travel with a difference

Occasionally one is abroad over organizational difficulties, which you would not expect. So Dietmar had to fix some things official within a specified period. Was nun? Back to Germany? No need for, it is also easier. We made an appointment with the German Embassy in Lisbon. What a pity, three weeks ago we were right in front of their front door. Now the upcoming visit designed it but a bit expensive. Our first path leads us to the station. After Faro a train had offered as a convenient and economical way to travel. After Lisbon, the situation was but slightly different from. The journey should take about four hours to almost 300 Kilometers and cost for both of us together 100 € (Down- trip). Thus, it was clear to us, we rent a car.

Morning at ten we were able to take the good piece right on the Marina Office. Ein Fiat Punto, looked, als hätte er die Beulenpest 🙂 Ein echtes Urlaubsauto halt. After we had ensured, that we had to pay neither old nor new Hives at car return (sometimes insurance but a great thing), Dietmar folded behind the wheel and we sprayed los. "Jet" can be unfortunately used in conjunction with this car only in the ironic sense. If Dietmar had not brought enough momentum before a pitch, he sometimes even had to switch back to first gear. The underpowered but had a clear advantage: Das üblich Streitthema „Du fährst mal wieder viel zu schnell“ war in den nächsten beiden Tagen wirklich kein Thema mehr 🙂

After Lisbon it should go tomorrow, since the message for today is no more date free for us had. Therefore, we made our way to Cabo de São Vicente and Sagres. With our SUMMER we had the most south-westerly point of Europe indeed already happened, but we had seen nothing because of the dense fog. Therefore we enjoyed this unusual for us country trip by car to the really very beautiful and not yet built coast.

In the late afternoon we took advantage of our luxury car as a workhorse and went shopping. 're Just like you used to it, migrated drinks and food in our shopping cart without consideration of weight and packing dimensions. Back to the SUMMER it took quite a while but then, until everything properly. So much shopping is on a yacht always a good reason, sort through thoroughly once the kitchen and all the store bins. And you are always amazed, what it finds everything.

For our trip to Lisbon, we had received support, because Hille and Torsten from the SY INFINITY wanted to accompany us. To promptly at 11 Clock to be at the Embassy, We started shortly after seven clock from the parking lot behind the Marina. Our Navi had opted instead for the fastest route for the shortest route. So we were treated to, yet to go through another very beautiful land, until it Dietmar and Thorsten on the winding country road at average 70 Was Km / h then definitively stupid. So we placed the second-half of the way but on the highway back and reached our destination comfortably ahead of time. Even a car park right outside the entrance of the German embassy was available for us.

While Dietmar regulated its affairs, we drank a threesome in the café opposite the park a delicious coffee. After an hour everything was done. We even splurged a little snack and then broke walking on towards the city center. This time we found the tram 28 and turned to her as the guide recommended a round past all the sights and the unique, narrow streets of Lisbon. Somehow this short excursion reconciled us back to Lisbon. Next year we definitely look again in more detail by.

Back in Lagos we could end the evening unusually. For dinner there was not the usual "Chicken Piri-piri", but today Asian cuisine was announced. As it would be quite normal, ordered Hille and Torsten our food in Chinese. We were stunned and thrilled the operator J. A grand finale for a nice day with us cherished people. We look forward, once again to do soon with the two of something.
