Portugal Day 6: Colombo Shopping centre, Creperie and creepy dolls

 Around 10 am I headed to Colombo, which is a humongous shopping centre (You'll definitely get lost a couple of times). They had a cute bakery with loads and loads of biscuits, and all of them just looked terribly good.

 In the 3rd floor they had all their restaurants, including Italian Republic, where I had this wonderful dish. This pizza was sooo good. The crust was hollow and thin, so you kind of had an extra cracker to go with your pizza toppings. They didn't put on crazy amounts of mozzarella and cheese so you had more of the stuff that really matters (when you eat a pizza, obviously).

 That evening, I went to a place called the Creperie, which was a really cute place with loads DIY-ish walls and cute dried flowers in a milk glass.

 As a main dish I ordered a tomato-mozzarella sandwich, which was served on a ridiculously cute plate.

 And because I was at a Creperie (a place that mainly exists on crepes ) I had to take a crepe au citron. Delicious <3.

 After a delicious meal (and with a full tummy ) I did some window shopping in the heart of Lisbon and saw a whole bunch of creepy baby dolls. The thing which you want to see least in the middle of the night, are a bunch of dolls just staring at you through a shop window.

Portugal Day 5: LX Factory Market and incredibly delicious chocolate cake

My day started off with a pasteis de nata , some yoghurt, a glass of water and a mini croissant (which I actually ate with sugar because the jam tasted horribly).

Later that day I visited LX Market at LX Factory. One of the shops was a book store, with way too many books for me to handle...

The place was full of awesome street art and graffiti....

...and this Marilyn Monroe Ave street sign.

A vintage shop with these cute perfume vials was there as well. Just very little people were in this shop because it was separated from the main market by some German film production team...

 This was my favourite shop in the whole market. It's called wish concept store and it has a lot of cute
little things. I literally spent 2 hours in that shop and kept on going out and returning.

They had a shop which sold only chocolate cake and hot beverages and personally I'm not a fan of chocolate cake, but this was definitely an exception.

This chocolate cake is so delicious. The texture was heavenly. And honestly I really don't like chocolate cakes... ( So you really have to eat it !!! )

 Little sunny spot in an Indian clothing shop.

I saw this really adorable book. Just look at what's written on it. Awwww it's cute and motivational.

Holding hands <3

This and half a ham and cheese sandwich was my lunch.

 Weird lobsters waiting to be cooked and eaten.

I took a "Schnitzel" because you usually can't go wrong with that.

I have to admit that the crème brulee wasn't that good. More like custard cream with burnt sugar coating...

Very interesting stone-shaped salt shaker they had in that restaurant.

 Pretty sun set at the sea side.

Portugal Day 4: Belem, delicious strawberries and a giant pineapple

Jeronimos Monastery and a Garden with giant fountain in Belem.

On top of this building they had a viewing platform where I took the following pictures:

 on the left (tejo bridge) and

on the right (belem tower).

I had a little ice cream because I was going to belem tower on foot and sometimes all you need is something to cool off your tongue ( which has to taste delicious as well.... ).

I didn't go into the Tower of Belem because the queue was way to long and I would have literally waited 3 hours or so just to get into that tower... so I just took a picture.

Pretty floral trees in the park near Belem Tower.

This is actually a really funny story. I saw a bus on the road which looked really cute because it had a cartoon hippo on it. After about 10 minutes I saw the same bus in the water?!?

Somebody was curious what would happen if you planted a whole pineapple. And this is what you get. A giant pineapple. Nope just a pineapple shaped tree.

 

Strawberry juice!!! Soo sweet. Soo fruity. Soo delicious. I would have one everyday, if I could, but strawberries here aren't as sweet.

Double stuffed Oreos. I was contemplating on whether or not to take them. I didn't. Really bad idea, as there not in stores here. :(

What have I been eating ??? These strawberries are really sweet. This is probably the reason why my strawb juice was soo delicious.

First day taking the taxi. They just look better...

 Vintage cash register. Ok they didn't actually use it, but it really looked good.

 Eau de Carmo. Carmo was the restaurant I went to that evening. Delicious food, but I had way to much bread. They kept on refilling the bread basket.

I took a vegetarian mushroom risotto, even though I'm not a vegetarian. I just don't eat meat and fish that often. And I like tofu and veggies. Maybe I'll be one  someday in the future (probably not because I think killing animals in order to eat them is wrong, rather because I don't like cooking meat for hours and hours... ).
