Today we went to a few musea. They all were about something totally different. The first we visited was an old church. It was build in the 15 century and named afther Gironimo. And is was in a old style build en it was very nice to look at. They re-build the church and made a museum in it. One part of the church is still a church. In this museum they showed old stone and I think they were from old building and in the stone there were some texts. It was sad that we couldn´t see the hole collection because in a other area there was a class. Straight after we visit it, we went to a other museum. From the outside this was a beautiful building to see with great architure. (Centro Cultural de Belem) There were much square and straight lines in it so it looked very modern. Inside the building there was the museum it was about modern arts. There were some really nice pieces of art but of some of them I couldn´t see the art in it because it were just pictures of a house. After that we did eat something first we sit in the park and after that we went to the Mac Donalds witch was really nice. Than we had a moment for ourselves and we had some fun. But we had to wait a very long and much of the guys get bored and that wasn´t nice and I think they could had that organized a some better and with this we lost a lot of shopping time wath was sad. In the city the streets were a made of little stones and the building were high and have still a old look. They do here much with the bus of subway in opposite in Dutch we do everything with a bike so that is kind of relax.

Wednesday 12 January

Today we stood all together waiting at 9 o´clock for the boat, which was going to bring us to the other side; Lisbon. I think we´re a very nice group and I like each of everyone. Everyone was in the morning very tired because we go out a lot. We were really quiet. Finally at the boat, everyone was alive again. The water with the sun and the view was beautiful. And when we arrived with both feet on land, we had to wait for the tram that took us to the first museum. The people of the group don´t like the museums, we already discovered that. So we walked through really fast. Afterwards we walked through a church and everyone took really great pictures. Then we went to the other side where a large museum was. We made really quick friends with the staff… Not. They were complaining about screaming and running children and boys who slipped on the stairs railing. It did not pressure us so we had the most fun. So Evi went sitting on a museum piece and the guard went really angry. We were embarrassing as hell. Then we were allowed to have dinner at Mac Donalds. The whole group was sitting on the same table, we have talked a lot together and we had really fun. Then we had to wait for the metro. After an hour waiting we heard that the metro had an accident. So we took the bus. Finally arrived we had an hour to shop and we all went together. After that we went to another museum. We all were like: ´oooh no, not again! ´ But then they told us that it was a fashion museum, so all the girls were like oh my god that’s so cool. I must now admit that it was the best museum ever. I thought it was a really nice day but exhaustive.
