The Great Overseas Trip

Salamanca : Aug 21 & Aug 22

August 21

After being dropped off and saying goodbye to Marta and Carlos, we had a little nanna nap, and then went out for dinner with Jaime - who lives in Salamanca - and two Americans Aubrie and Spencer.  We went out for tapas, and a couple drinks, and then Jaime took us to a bar/club that his mate works at.  The bar was little, but it had €1 shots! and really crazy shots, like kiwi, strawberry, mint and something else all mixed together...was very nice!  Aubrie and Spencer left, and Lisa, Jaime and i danced the night away.  About 5ish we decided to head home and Jaime insisted on escorting us back, but he lived in the opposite direction so we walked back alone.  Again, a really, really nice guy, these Spanish boys could show Aussie boys a thing or two! haha

August 22

Due to our late night, Lisa and i decided to sleep in a little before heading to the bus station to catch the bus to Lisbon.

For some reason in Spain instead of driving straight to the destination, the bus stops about 800 times! no joking!  On the way just after crossing the border to Portugal, the bus nearly died going up the hills, but we managed to make it to Lisbon, yay!

When we arrived in Lisbon it was about 10pm, so we decided to take a taxi to our hostel, however it seems despite the Spanish telling us that everyone in Portugal spoke English, none of the taxi drivers do.  However luckily one started speaking in German to us, and Lisa was able to converse back, so we made it to our hostel at about 10.30pm
