Portugal

After a long flight and some time in Madrid. We are on the move to Lisboa,Portugal. We woke up in a holiday inn in Spain at 6:00 am; it was bright and early. It took about an hour for us to change and another to eat breakfest.
Now in Spain breakfest is not the usual, as to be expected. Breackfest was mixture of ham, cheese, and bread. It was annoyingly simple. Now lisboa is a 6-7 hour drive. Most of the time, my brothers where fighting becasue one took a picture of the other or the other stepped on his shoe; It was just chaos; I wasn't too far behind. We all drove except my little brother. I drove for about an hour, but it felt like five. It didn't matter because after i got to sleep for a while. If we weren't driving, fighting, or sleeping, we where jamming whith, NBA JAM! We entered Portugal 4 hours into the drive; even though Spain and Portugal are right next to each other, they are nothing alike. When we finely  arrived after a long drive; we first encountered a city called almada; To cross into lisboa, we crossed through a bridge that was the Golden Gate Bridge 2.0. It was red, it had a river under it, the only diffrence is that there was no Alcatraz. When we arrived it was a shock there where a lot more people then I had anticipated. Lisboa is full of people it's like a market center. We took a tour on a morticyle type thing called a tuk tuk, because it vibrates whenever your still. We got to see churches and a beatufil view from the highest part of the city. After the tour we where all hungry so we went to this place but I don't remember the name. The food was not exactly as I expected it to be; I actually did not like it. After we finished eating we went to Sevilla, Spain which was about a 5 hour drive, we arrived around 10:00 pm. We found this hotel that was packed, but only had some apartments but my dad looked up on the Internet and it said that they had rooms. We went to tell the lady at the counter but my dad didn't notice it was  another hotel. We ended up staying In the apparents that were kinda cheap. That's how we visited Lisboa,Portugal, see you tomorrow
