the portuguese summer

I know I haven't been posting a lot lately, but the thing is I've been VERY lazy. Yeah, more than usual...

In a nutshell this is what I've done lately: Claus and his sister came on holiday to Portugal. I met them one day in Lisbon (one-day trip to Sintra [when did it got so fucking expensive!? no wonder it's full of tourists, only they can afford prices like those!]) and one in Porto. Both times I got drunk...
I then went back to Lisbon for a whole weekend: awful scorching hot days, lovely indian summer nights, not so exciting clubbing. To be honest, I found the whole clubbing-crowd too corny and redneck-y... am I becoming too snob or have the standards lowered while I was away!? I did missed Bairro Alto and the mediterranean party mood, it was just my Scandinavians who were missing.
That said it's great to see my friends again... but then it starts getting boring and too familiar. 3 or 4 weeks down here would be more than enough.

Now is one more month enduring this above 35º daily temperatures. I might as well get myself a great tan, or the shame when I go back to DK will be too much...

Ahoy! We miss you too... and every time we go grilling we bring your cardboard plates and plastic forks and do a SKÅL for you. :)
