Getting over the flu

This flu has been hanging around now for a few days, its been killing me, yesterday morning i woke up, i could barely breathe, i couldn't talk and even swallowing hurt, i spent the day drinking Camomile and Green Tea, and this morning to my surprise, i have woken up a lot better. Which is great because i am expecting Ole to arrive in the next couple of hours, and once he gets here i think we will visit Torre De Belém, or the Belém Tower, which is only a couple hundred meters from the hostel on the waterfront, and will go and explore the Jerónimos Monastery, which is literally a stones throw from the front door of our Hostel. They're both very interesting looking structures, I will be sure to load up plenty of photos. Not sure what the plan is for the next couple of days, but by the looks of the weather forecast, today and tomorrow there are chances of some poor weather, but into the weekend its going to be warm and dry, so i will take advantage of one of those and head over to the beach for certain! Looking forward to a bit of an adventure exploring the other side of the river. One of the highlights of my time here so far is having a Pastel de Nata, which is a sweet pastry tart, filled with custard. like a mini custard tart, but absolutely amazing, before i'd even arrived here, i was told it was a must have by two people, so i knew it was going to be good! Im also hoping that i will be able to find the Geelong vs Collingwood match somewhere in Lisbon, but im thinking i will be very hard-stretched to find that one anywhere, so i may have to settle on listening to it on the radio. Go Geelong. Anyways, ill leave you all with that, and i will get a post up for you all tomorrow.
