Good morning good morning guys.
Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal.
Today is a travel day.
It is a travel day.
So we're going to be traveling up to Porto yes which I believe is 3 and a half hours
by bus.
Yeah.
We're going to be leaving the apartment soon but first we wanted to give you guys a little
tour of where we've been staying.
Yeah.
So Sam is going to do that.
I'll be doing that.
Okay so right now we're in the hallway and we've got lots of doors to choose from so
where are we going first?
Well I'll think I'll take you into the living room.
And something to keep in mind is the apartments we're renting this time of year are a little
bit bigger yes because we're traveling with my parents yes so we're getting the extra
bedroom.
We need to fit 4 people.
Need to fit 4 of us in here.
Four Canadians.
Oh my gosh.
It is not like we're giants or anything.
Haha.
Well speaking of giants this place is kind of unique in that sense.
I'll show you.
You'll see once we get to the kitchen.
Yep.
So anyways this was a really everywhere we've been looking because there is four of us we're
trying to find like really comfortable common spaces.
Yes.
So we're really happy with the size of this massive couch.
And we had a nice big table.
We used it equally for like just hanging out on our computers.
Also we had all of our dinners here.
Yeah.
Which was awesome.
We ate home for every dinner.
Yeah.
We had lunches out.
Mmmhmm.
So this was perfect.
Good wifi.
Mmmhmm.
Come on in here.
So this is the part where and I don't know why the light isn't turned on.
It is here.
Okay so this is the funny part guys inside this kitchen because I'm pretty tall.
I'm 6 foot 1 yeah which is like what 183 or 184 cm.
I don't know but we need a stool in this kitchen for everything.
So for instance the cutlery when I go up here is right there.
Like I can't reach it.
Can you see it?
Hahaha.
And then up here was like pots and pans.
So everything was out of reach giant sized.
Yeah.
We all became very good at using this step ladder.
Even the stove.
Look at where the stove is.
Yeah, the stove.
It is kind of high up.
Um it is one of those one of those typical ones in Europe where you have to light it
with a match.
Yeah.
Turn on the gas.
Put the match like that.
I'll quickly show you the bathroom.
And this is the bathroom.
It is pretty standard.
So what you'll notice here is they have oh the shower we hate.
Argh.
Yeah, the shower did not have a holder.
It is broken.
So that means while you're showering you kind of have to put it in between your legs and
in between your arms and you get cold.
And so yeah we don't really like that very much.
Okay let's move on to the hallway.
Okay.
So moving on to the hallway what I like in the hallway is the iconic picture of the trolley.
Yep.
The tram in Lisbon.
Yeah, that's what you'll find in Lisbon.
Um and here was our bedroom.
And we had two big basically twin beds.
Two single beds?
Twin.
Twin beds.
Twins beds.
Twin beds.
That is what we call it.
Yeah.
Anyways it was fun to come back to Lisbon.
This is my second time.
This was your third time and this was my parent's first time.
Yes.
So it is a city that we really like.
It is just it has a very cool chill vibe.
It is so fun to walk around but now we're really excited to go to Porto because this
is going to be like our first time visiting for everyone.
Yes.
So a new destination for everyone.
Now what we need to do is catch a taxi and get on that bus.
Let's go.
Let's do it.
Okay so we are now at the Sete Rios bus terminal.
Yeah.
We just made it.
The taxi ride was really nice.
We had such a nice driver.
Very friendly.
The ride was also affordable.
It came to something like just over 8 Euros.
Which for four people was incredible.
We were able to fit all of our bags in there.
Mmmhmm.
It was awesome.
The bus terminal is nice here.
And yeah, we're just killing time.
We arrived really early.
We have over an hour to kill.
So I went out and got baked goods.
So if we take a little tour down here we've got the all time favorite.
The Pastéis de nata.
The Portuguese egg tart.
We have a Quiche which we're going to split into four.
So we each get a little bit.
And then I've got a sandwich for all of us.
I think it is prosciutto and cheese.
And the bun looks really good.
It looks good and at what time are you having lunch right now?
I'm having lunch at ten forty.
Nicely done.
What do you guys think of that?
Hahaha.
A bit early.
Mmmm.
That sandwich is pretty good.
So it is brunch.
Oh yeah brunch.
Brunch.
That is a really thick piece of bread.
When are you going to have yours?
In like an hour?
Yeah, I'll have mine when I'm on the bus.
On the bus.
I'm saving mine too.
Would you like a knife to cut it?
Um do you have a knife?
I have a swiss army knife.
Okay.
Woo hoo!
Fancy here.
We're getting fancy.
We're going to dissect this into four with a swiss army knife.
Because that is how it is done.
Hahaha.
Is that an expression that you got or is it one that Sam said.
Look at that?
I don't know where did we get fuss pot?
Beautifully.
Beautifully cut.
Because that is an expression that our family uses too.
Fuss potting.
Maybe Sam came up with fusspot and I just started using it for him.
Oh, I have a feeling I'm not sure it could either be chicken or tuna.
It is chicken.
How do you know?
Hahaha.
I can tell.
Hahaha.
It is chicken.
It could have been tuna.
Looks like chicken, tastes like chicken.
Oh my gosh.
It is chicken.
Alright, there you go.
Chicken Quiche.
And the last one, the pastel de nata for dessert.
Okay.
Mmmmm.
Hahahaha.
Flaky.
You know what it is pretty good but it is nowhere near the level of the 3 places we
had but it is tasty.
This will be a really nice lunch.
Alright.
All of this came to 16 Euros.
So we got 4 sandwiches, 4 Pastéis de nata and one big Quiche.
So good value and that will tide us over until we reach Porto.
So we've discovered a bit of a hidden talent later in life.
You like to be on camera.
So if you were going to so you should start your own YouTube channel.
What would you call it?
What are some names?
First one would be SOF which is short for sweaty old fossils.
Hahaha.
And the next one what else?
Would be um uh around the world with Pumpy.
Around the World with Pumpy.
That is your nickname.
Yeah.
Pumpy.
And uh what is the other one?
Something about Bobby D. No you came up with it was like no no not no reservations.
Oh yeah.
No fixed address.
No fixed address with Bobby D. With Bobby D. Because you look.
People have said you look like Robert DeNiro.
Hahaha.
Well these views can only mean one thing.
We have made it to Porto!
Porto!
And this is an upgrade over our apartment in Lisbon for sure.
We're not in a basement.
Yeah, I'm loving it on the 4th floor.
We have beautiful views of the park.
We have a park right across.
Yeah, we have nice spacious bedrooms.
We'll show you that later.
Anyways yeah it is time for a much needed update.
We forgot to tell you the price of the tickets.
The bus tickets.
Oh yeah.
The bus tickets were 19 Euros per person.
Yes.
So yeah thought that was pretty good value.
It probably would have been cheaper if we had of booked it in advance but we're kind
of winging this.
Mmmhmm.
Booking this last minute.
Anyways what I think we'll do is we're going to go to the grocery store.
Mmmhmmm.
And we're going to show you.
We're going to have a family dinner tonight.
We'll show you a little bit of that.
I think we're going to make some pasta and maybe have some wine.
Alright let's bring the camera when we go shopping how about that?
Alright, let's do it.
Sam in the wine section of course.
Most important place.
Gotta pick out a good wine.
Did you pick out a good wine that is the question.
Yeah, I think so.
Come check out this.
So this one over here which I got is on sale.
Oh, sorry I'm in the wrong section.
Pfff.
Oh here.
There it is.
This is normally 4.99 on sale for 2.49 Euros.
And it is a Syrah.
Ooh!
Should be good.
Alright so we did a basic grocery shop.
Yeah.
Very basic.
By the way I haven't been on camera much today because I didn't wash my hair.
There was no hot water for the shower.
We ran out of hot water in the morning.
So I'm a bit of the mess.
Grungy!
Um so yeah next stop bakery shop for bolinhos de bacalhau yes if we can find that.
And then we're going to find a fruit and veg shop.
Yep.
And that is right by our apartment.
Yes.
The fruit and veg shop we know where that is.
He is getting apples.
Grocery shopping how exciting.
Apples.
I look like a mess while getting apples.
Haha.
There are the apples.
Four to start with?
Yeah.
You guys we found an Asian supermarket and they have Korean noodles.
Oh my gosh.
Shin Ramyun!
Korean noodles.
Shin Ramyun coming out.
Oh my gosh.
What a surprise.
Let's go pay.
Oh and mochi.
They've got mochi.
They do have mochi balls.
Oh ho.
Are you allowed to get some mochi for dessert?
Well, we're still hitting up the pastry shops so maybe let's control ourselves.
Okay.
Alright guys so we were only partially successful.
We went into the bakery looking for bolinhos de bacalhau but they didn't have any.
Only sweets.
But we did find an Asian supermarket that had spicy Korean Shin Ramyun.
Shin Ramyun and also.
That makes up for it.
Mochi balls.
Oh yeah we got Mochi for dessert.
So it'll be a good meal.
It sure will.
An Asian inspired meal.
And we're probably going to have red wine and after 8.
It is going to be the most eclectic mix ever.
Ramyun, prosciutto, cheese, after 8, mochi balls and more importantly good company.
Alright salut.
Salut.
Our first meal in Porto.
Yes.
Ha, we were we just wanted to go for something easy and instant.
Mmmhmm.
And uh yeah we're going to wrap things up here.
It was a nice day.
Nice travel day it wasn't too long.
What did you guys think of the trip?
It was good.
I slept well.
Pretty cozy.
Those two slept a lot on the bus.
Hahaha.
Anyways, it was comfortable.
It was comfortable.
So we'll see you guys with more videos from Porto soon.
We're going to enjoy our meal.
Tata.
