For the last few weeks I have been exploring Portugal with my boyfriend Simon. We arrived in Lisbon from Porto, after a very sickly train ride on one of those high speed ones that tilts and churns your stomach. The fresh air was lovely when we disembarked. After getting our bearings, we found our way to the fabulous Oasis Backpackers Hostel. The highlight of our trip was our Sintra day trip from Lisbon, and I’d love to share this with you today.
