Hello I wish you all a very happy New Year, that 2016 may bring what 2015 forgot :D For my first post in 2016, I decide to share with you how and where I spent my new year's eve, and tell you some funny adventures that happened along the way.
Adventures right from the beginning ... change of plans on last time ...Waking up to the planned day - lunch, then help my mother in desserts, go put my brother to train, go shopping and go look for a colleague. Well, until lunchtime everything was going to wonder, sitting on the couch with the computer talking to my colleague and behold, everything changes. She can no longer come - what good New Year's Eve alone with my parents... not bad, but it was not what I had in mind. So my brother and my mother, "Go take a shower and go to Lisbon..."
After a few seconds of hesitation, behold, I get up from the couch to go bathing in 5 minutes, get dressed in less time than that, get the backpack (money, mobile phone, charger and of course champagne and raisins)...here I come towards the station to catch a train that departed within 10 minutes.
Anyway... I sat on the train, not believing that I did what I did... it is then that I realize that after we left the Fundão (first stop) a lady with her son, were stuck on the train and had to leave in Castelo Branco and then returned back. It seems that there are others like me who in this last day of the year, still collect funny stories to tell.
You know how it is always complicated to deal with places of buses and trains, so during the trip, with a carriage already nearly full, behold, we start looking for our places, because the ones we had, to be together during the trip were not ours (yes I know that if we had just sat since the beginning in the right places, we would have avoided this situation :) ).
Want to know more? So it looks like the train is already overflowing and there are only places in the carriage first class - to chic, but worse for those entering the train and no longer have any choice ...ups.
Another pearl, do not know whether it is defective or if it is due to the large influx...yes, because this has been a shuttle back and forth, even seems that they are giving something in there...that the door of the bathroom no longer closes. Behold, my brother decided to go too. His colleague is on the door, as he does what he has to do...and behold, he brings a gift from inside, clinging to his sneaker, ehehehe.
News flash: it seems that we aren't going to sleep...ah...this because we don't have where to stay and they only have ticket for tomorrow at 7pm. Well, perhaps it is good to have not bought a return ticket.
Once we get to Oriente Station (Lisbon) we went for a walk around the mall once my brother's girlfriend instead of bringing a backpack brought a purse... Done!!!
Then we go to the subway in search of a place to eat...and then the saga begins. Lets go to Santos to McDonald's...is closed...ups. So let's go to Chiado to see if there's anything. We went down a few streets and behold, we find an affordable restaurant: Tasca do Tejo. While we wait, here's my brother decides to break something from the restaurant...well, it was nothing to do with us.
Behold, we arrived at Terreiro do Paço and a sea of people. We went to a store to buy drinks, as in the enclosure were more expensive. We sat by the roadside waiting for midnight. 20 minutes before we went to the river to see the fireworks...well, it was a difficult thing... I tell you to get out so it was another problem. Finally we entered in 2016 !!!!
In the meantime we took photos with some French we do not know from anywhere... Seeing a couple of Brazilians to hug in the street, here I come to them to give them a hug too. However it is already 2 am on the first day of January and we sat at the door of the police (without knowing it), waiting for two who had gone to the bathroom (again). In the meantime we left there and went to have a square, where a billboard, allowed to take pictures.
Next step: go looking for tobacco (attention: it wasn't for me!!!) was not easy because everything was closed. We got to go up all the Liberty Avenue to go back down. It is 4 am and fatigue already squeezed, so we stopped at Starbucks. Not long we were there. We decided to go to Santa Apolónia (train station). Walk, walk, walk....feet already ached and it starts to rain :( . We stopped for a moment, waiting for the rain to subside. We returned to Terreiro do Paço... it wasn't the same...empty and clean.
We reached the station around 6 am, sitting on the floor, tired and cold...until around 7 am the waiting room opened and it was possible to get some sleep. But the departure time never came. Among bathrooms that were paid and go looking for something to eat, we learned of the strike and that the ticket office would not open... No matter we entered the train, we changed the tickets and there we went home (finally)!!!
How was your New Years Eve?

What we did in the first minutes of New Year? We were looking for a bathroom. After all relieved, my brother's girlfriend decided to change outfit in the middle of the street. Then off we went to enjoy the last minutes of Richie Campbell's concert.
