Visiting Lisbon & Sintra for the First time @ Portugal

YAS! I'm finally writing the last travel post for my trip in Spain and Portugal.
This post is all about the main attractions to go in Lisbon and Sintra, and also the local food I had in Portugal.
It's my first time visiting Portugal, and I'm already feel madly in love.
I remember I've read one online article about the 40 most beautiful countries in the world, and Portugal is one of them in the list.
Feeling so blessed that I can now cross off Portugal from my travel list.
Portugal is really one amazing country to visit; the people there are friendly and nice, the weather was fine, much better than the previous days in Spain, and also I enjoyed Portuguese food too.
So, we went to Portugal for almost 2 days; we arrived in Lisbon late in the afternoon from Seville, spent a whole day in Sintra on the next day, and then following by a half day tour around Lisbon city before our night flight back to Malaysia.
The itinerary in Portugal wasn't very rush, so we actually have enough time walking around and taking pictures at those places that the tour agent arranged for us.
So, let's start my love in Portugal. are you ready?



Hippo in Spain & Portugal | 2019

Hey guys!
Welcome back to my travel post!
If you follow me on my Instagram, you're probably like: "we get it, Ivy, you went to Spain." :)
Yeap, I took 2 weeks off from my work to travel to Spain and Portugal with my parents and younger sister back in early October this year.
This time, we traveled with the same tour agent we used to travel with, Golden Tourworld Travel (GTT).
I think this probably our 4th time traveling with GTT group to Europe.
Though we felt quite disappointed with the tour leader during our last trip in Eastern Europe, GTT still our first choice when it comes to the tour arrangement for the accommodation, food and beverages, and also transportation.
The company usually provides 4-5 stars hotels, as well as good tasting of local food and drinks during the trip.
Me and my family are very satisfied and truly enjoyed this trip; our stays at all hotels in Spain and Portugal were excellent, we get to try variety of local cuisines at most of the places, and also the tour leader, Marcus is very knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and helpful. :)
And now, I'm just a little excited to share about the entire trip with you all! :)
I've no idea how many photos have been taken during the trip, maybe 5,000 or 6,000?! #lol
It's gonna take sometimes to organize and edit the photos before sharing them with you all.
So, in this post, I will be sharing all the places I've been during the trip, and will go deep into each places with you later.
So, do stay tuned ya! #winkwink
