Hi Fellow Steemians!
I have said my last goodbye to one of my most favourite countries in the world, Portugal. I have made some awesome memories and seen some amazing sights and had some delicious food that my taste buds will forever remember. In hindsight, it really feels like there's so much more to see of Portugal and you can expect me back soon!
For now, let me take you through my last day(s).
Lagos to Faro
Some pictures I took on the way to the train station
The train station was really close to the main town and it was just a nice stroll down the slope and along the water and boats to get to there. The train station itself was very clean and not many people were there since it was the low season. To buy the ticket was easy as well, just needed to go up to the person and name your final destination. The ticket price was 7.4 Euros.

Where you buy the ticket
Train is here!
The train ride itself was very comfortable too. There was ample room and the staff on board were very helpful and friendly. Luckily for us, Faro was the last stop on the train so we didn't have to worry about what stop to get off at. We had a nice nap and when we woke up it was dark and we were in Faro. The train ride took about 2 hrs.
HELLO FARO!
APERITIVO Bar
After meeting up with our Airbnb hosts and dropping off all our luggage we headed off for our choice of meal for the night. We had chosen APERITIVO Bar. The reason why we chose this place was that it offered a set menu for 5 Tapas dishes for 19.5 Euros. I have to say that I think we made a very good decision in going here because each and every dish was tasty and the value was very good too!
Goat Cheese
Sausages with bread
MY FAVOURITE !!! PRAWNS IN GARLIC AND OIL - These were sooooooooooo goood. I kept on chewing and chewing to get all the flavour out. After we even ordered some bread to soak up that oil that had such strong prawn flavour to it. MUST GET!
Vegetable Mousakka
Portugese beef steak pieces
How we spent the rest of our last night
I have to admit, I have fallen in love with the port wine in Portugal. I'm not much of a wine fanatic normally but the wine that I tasted here was so good that I couldn't have enough! So when
NOTE: DRINK RESPONSIBILITY
The next morning we said bye
After a quick bite from the supermarket below us, we got in an Uber and got driven to the airport. The Uber only cost around 10Euros so its worth it if you don't want to bother with the bus system.
The airport was nice and clean but the security was really really tight. There was only one security check line and there were around 6-7 people working on it. They were very thorough with everything and even though it may annoy me a little with the slow process, I do feel safer with the tighter security.
The rest of the boarding process was very easy. There was clear signage that indicated which direction we had to go to our gate and the Ryanair crew made sure that we took off at the planned time.
Guess which plane was ours!
Up above the clouds
All of Portugal really was a great adventure and I had a very memorable time while I was there. I really plan to go back some day so if you think I've missed any places during my trip please comment below because I was to experience everything that Portugal has to offer!
