Going to Chiado & Saldanha

It was a long day

We started the day early. I got up around 5am when he was already working. I worked for a bit on my blogs and emails.

Breakfast @ 6:30am: Bacon & Broccoli Omelette, Grapes and Brioche

 

Today I didn’t go back to bed and kept working since I felt a lot better (no cough). Unfortunately, I don’t remember what I’ve done 😛

Yogurt @ 10:30am, he was still busy working and I was getting hungry.

I wanted to do laundry but it was raining. Dryer is not common in Portugal and laundry is usually hung to dry.

 

OMG, so many people in Chiado

Around 2pm, it stopped raining.

He said, “Let’s go to Chiado to buy a printer”

We walked to s station and took metro. Fortunately, rain stopped in the afternoon.

 

There were a lot of people and tourist go in Chiado, the center of Lisbon. I couldn’t take that crowd and instantly wanted to go home.

We quickly purchased two pairs of slippers at Flying Tigar to be comfortable at home and a printer at fnac then took a taxi home.

The taxi driver was a real professional. He glanced the address, drove like a motorcycle and here home we were in minutes. I’ve used Lyft/Uber a lot and even taxi driver uses gps, but he doesn’t although our street is not major. The fare was much less than I expected. It was amazing!

This is one of stores that our airbnb landlord recommends to buy a monitor or printer.

 

Dinner in Saldenha

Later the afternoon, we met up with the realtor to see another apartment. The location is great (3 minutes to Saldenha metro) but it doesn’t seem ready to rent out (weird furniture layout and outdated appliances).

We had dinner at Food court in the mall of Saldenha.

Mine:  Picanha (7.50 euro), it was ok. Beef was not tender as I was hoping.

His: Choco Frito (7.95 euro) + Coca Cola (1.95 euro), Cuttlefish flitter was very salty. Rice is salted too. My palate might have gotten sensitive since I have been drinking only water. Coke costs a lot comparing to food.
