The morning was early, we left Kadrina at 04.30 and left Estonia at 07.00. By the time we arrived to Lisbon we had already been awake for about 12 hours. The girls yelling "Palm trees!" when sighting them did not, however show any signs of fatigue. After arriving and checking in at the hostel we took some time and went to see the city on our own. We had dinner and took a ride with the metro to see the city a bit more. When we got back to the hostel we met the Polish students, a bit later also the Italians and the Turkish. This was the end of day one.
The second day started with a breakfast, obviously. After that, the bus from Moimenta da Beira arrived with some of the Portuguse students and we had the official tour around Lisbon. We visited the amazing Jeronimos Monastery (Vasco da Gama's resting place) and the famous Belem Tower. Near the monastery we tasted some delicious small cakes, which were originally made by the monks. We drove around a bit and we were told about some other sights such as the 25th of April bridge.
After lunch the long drive to Moimenta began. Everyone was excited because most of us hadn't seen our hosts yet. We arrived quite late but that did not matter. The dinner was served and after that we spent some time in school where the cultural week activities were taking place (Karaoke that evening :) ). Everyone went home with their hosts at some point. That was it for the day.
