Day 6 & 7 of Spain Vacation – Crossing over to Lisbon Portugal
and here’s day 6 of spain trip where we crossed over to Lisbon, Portugal. I extract this portion of the blog entry out from an original lengthy blog entry written very long ago. You can read the original blog post if you are interested.
One of the first activity we did that morning was SHOPPING! And how could i not visit Zara while in Spain? Post shopping, it was a long road journey to Lisbon, Portugal. We drove past neverending fields of cows and cattle and it was a calming sight indeed.
Once we were over the border, we immediately spotted the iconic places of Lisbon – Port of Lisbon, the Christ of King Statue overlooking Tagus River and of cos the Ponte 25 De Abril & Evora, which is the famed Silver Water Aqueduct and spend the later part of the day treading through the alfama quarters, and climbing to the top of the hill and be greeted by gorgeous view of the entire place.
and day 7 of the trip, we popped over to Park Eduardo IV in the morning. Lovely greens in neat formation. We spotted a diamond house and checked out the Medieval castle of Sao George.
The magnificent structure of the Hieronymite Monastery took my breath away that day. It’s an amazing place to be and i took so many photos within the premises..
The Towel of Belem is interesting to look at as well and there was a sorta old charter plane on display. We rounded up the place with some coffee and a really really nice Portuguese tart. Do what the romans do when in Rome, so i eat portuguese tarts in Portugal!
Ended the day with shopping… what’s new right?

I hope you enjoy reading!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
