Dear Steemers,

I am going to assemble a few photos in this post to tell the beautiful story of me and my girlfriend spending a wonderful 7 days in Portugal.

We spent the first 4 days in Lisbon and took a day trip to Costa de Caparica and the other one to Cascais. I already posted a video of a beautiful Castelo de S. Jorge here.

The next day we went to see the beautiful 17+ beaches of Costa de Caparica, which is just over the Golden-Gate-style "Ponte 25 de Abril" bridge.

Then came Saturday and our surfing day at Europe best surfing beach - the Guincho Beach. IT WAS AMAZING! We were of course not in shape, but we did two 2-hour trainings how to surf in one day. You know the wave is coming towards you and there is nothing you can do except jump on your board and try to ride it, or pick up your board and let the wave hit you so you can wait for another one. Amazing and a true metaphore for life.

The beach was in Cascais and we got a few shots of beautiful forts and castles.

After experiencing the amazing night life of Lisbon in the previous days, we went to Porto. We took a very nice tour of the city which is much more stunning than Lisbon if you ask me.

We also went into the World of discoveries museum to learn about all the great explorers of the world, which were, of course, mostly Portuguese. This below is one of the ships used.

We ended our holidays by trying the famous Porto wine which is made with a huge percentage of alcohol all the way from the middle ages, still. And it tastes amazing.

That's it folks! Don't forget to follow me if you would like to read more about our travels, food, games or crypto, of course :D
