A nice view of the city beneath the clouds, as we approach for landing.

Because jet lagged people need caffeine...
(fortunately, this wasn't the pricy poop coffee)

It's actually Joana Vasconcelos at Palácio da Ajuda, but you can't quite shake the feeling that you've just entered one of Lewis Carroll's novels and walked into a magical world of fantasy. You half expect to see a white rabbit in a waistcoat, looking at a pocket watch and saying 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' materializing in front of you at any second. And you don't remember falling down the rabbit hole or drinking the magic 'Drink Me' potion, but you surely must have, otherwise how would you explain this?

WARNING: 3-hour-lines plus jet lag may potentiate the effects described above... In which case, the name of the venue 'Palace of Help' seems oddly appropriate.

Help

Sleeping through a nuclear holocaust

Best thing about sheltering a homeless PhD student while recovering from jet lag? Watching her sleep through the multiple alarms she sets on her iPad. This was my morning's soundtrack today: sleeping beauty's alarm sound.

Btw, the second best thing: eating the brownies she makes for breakfast :D

Chronology doesn't matter

Primeira paragem a seguir a aterrar no aeroporto da Portela - Deli Delux: mercearia fina, charcutaria e cafetaria, com brunches ao fim-de-semana e vista para o Tejo. Porque as pessoas com jet lag têm de se alimentar bem e apanhar sol q.b... E por que não fazê-lo com estilo?

Early birds

Os emigras hoje madrugaram e foram comer glórias, croissants, coxinhas de galinha e fatias de fios de ovos ao Moinho Velho. Gordalhões??? Nós???!!! Nááá... afinal de contas, o pequeno-almoço é a refeição mais importante do dia. Conclusão:

Deitar cedo e cedo erguer dá saúde e faz...
