First we had a 2 hour flight and then we had a 6 hour flight. When we arrived in Lisbon it was around 9:00. We were able to drop off our luggage at the Airbnb and then we explored the city! We had gelato two times a day the entire trip because there was a gelato store on every corner and we did a lot of walking so we earned it. The first day we were so tired because we had to switch our sleep schedules but we were able to make it work because we took a tuk tuk tour of the city to stay awake.

After Lisbon, we spend a couple days in Porto. It was a 3 hour train ride away from Lisbon. We walked a lot of stairs to get around the city and also up to the top of their tallest tower. They also have a very beautiful library where we all bought some books.

We ended the trip in a beach town called Cascais. My sister and I went surfing and had so much fun! It was our second time surfing after Hawaii last year. The first couple waves the teacher helped us do it, but then I asked if I could do it myself and he said yes. I did several waves by myself and even did some turns. The first wave I did all by myself was the best because I went all the way to the shore.
