Wonder what to bring on a trip around the world? I do to. Here is what I left with summed up in a picture.

Lisbon;

A kind of surreal experience traversing around the world in aluminum cylinders, felt almost like a bad magic trick. Some hours in rattling turbulent cylinders a dash of uniformed flight attendants and bam you have arrived sweaty and mildly confused in another land.

We had some hesitation when the time came to cross customs. Trip itinerary in hand and even a plane ticket receipt booked for Madrid, just in case right? Our bags most certainly would get checked, right? Approaching the counter with new glossy Canadian passports, *stamp stamp* and a nod each and off we went slighty more confused. Grabbed our bags and found the exit. Sweet.

We stayed at the Travellers House which ended up setting my standards pretty high, for I’ve not stayed in a hostel before. Great knowledgeable staff who receive you as one of the family. Here is a shot just outside to the right of the hostel door:

Here are a random assortment of pictures from Lisbon:
