At the end of October I had been to Lisbon with a friend from my former study International Business (IBS). We were planning to visit a friend of ours who is studying there for a few months. Yanneke and I flew (standby) to Lisbon. This 4 day trip is for me number 4 of 2019 and my 3rd time in Lisbon.

It was a little further away from the more crowded areas in the city. It was very quiet inside, the main reason for that was because we wanted to have breakfast pretty late in the morning.
